The Cherry Tree Carol lyrics

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
