The Cherry Tree Carol (1961) |
| When Joseph was an old man, an old man was he He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee |
| He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Galilee |
| Joseph and Mary walked through an orchard green |
| There were cherries and berries, as thick as might be seen |
| There were cherries and berries, as thick as might be seen |
| Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild: |
| Joseph, gather me some cherries, for I am with child |
| Joseph, gather me some cherries, for I am with child |
| Then Joseph flew in anger, in anger flew he Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee! |
| Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee! |
| Then up spoke baby Jesus, from in Mary’s womb: |
| Bend down the tallest branches, that my mother might have some |
| Bend down the tallest branches, that my mother might have some |
| And bend down the tallest branches, it touched Mary’s hand |
| Cried she: Oh look thou Joseph, I have cherries by command |
| Oh look thou Joseph, I have cherries by command |
