The Cherry Tree Carol

When Joseph were an old man, an old man were he
He courted Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee
He courted Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee
When Joseph and Mary were walking one day
"Here are apples and cherries", Mary did say
"Here are apples and cherries", Mary did say
Then Mary spoke to Joseph, so meek and 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 angry, in angry flew he
"Let the father of your baby gather cherries for thee
Let the father of your baby gather cherries for thee"
Then Jesus spoke a few words, a few words spoke He
"Bow low down, cherry tree, bow low down to the ground
Bow low down, cherry tree, bow low down to the ground"
The cherry tree bowed low down, 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 left knee
"My Lord, what have I done, have mercy on me
My Lord, what have I done, have mercy on me"
Then Joseph took Mary all on his right knee
"Pray tell me, little baby, when Thy birthday will be?
"Pray tell me, little baby, when Thy birthday will be?"
"On the sixth day of January, my birthday will be
And the stars in firmament shall dance with glee
And the stars in firmament shall dance with glee"
