Cherry Tree Carol |
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. |
As Joseph and Mary walked through an orchard green |
There were apples and cherries |
Plenty there to be seen |
There were apples and cherries |
Plenty there to be seen. |
Then Mary spoke to Joseph so meek and so mild |
'Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with Child' |
'Oh, 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 you' |
'Let the father of the baby gather cherries for you' |
The cherry tree bowed low down, bowed low down to the ground |
And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood around |
And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood around. |
Then Joseph took Mary all on his right knee |
'For what have I done |
Have mercy on me Oh, what have I done, Lord? |
Have mercy on me." |
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. |
