Paroles de Cherry Tree Carol

Two Three Four Joseph was an old man An old man was he When he married Virgin Mary The queen of Galilee As Mary and Joseph Were walking one day To an orchard of cherry trees They chanced for to stray Then Mary said to Joseph So meek and so mild "Pick me some cherries Joseph For I am with child" Then Joseph flew angry So angry flew he "Let the father of your baby Gather cherries for thee" Then up spoke Lord Jesus From in his mother's womb "Bow low down cherry trees Bow down to the ground" And the cherry trees bowed down Bowed low to the ground And Mary gathered cherries While Joesph stood round Then Joseph he kneeled down A question gave he "Come tell me pretty baby When your birthday shall be" "On fifth day of January My birthday shall be And the stars in the heavens Shall all bow down to me"
