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 a garden green
There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen
There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen
Then up spoke Virgin Mary, 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 thy baby gather cherries for thee"
"Let the father of thy baby gather cherries for thee"
Up spoke the Baby Jesus, within his mother's womb
"Bend ye down the tallest branch that my mother might have some"
"Bend ye down the tallest branch that my mother might have some"
Then bend the tallest branch till it touch Mary's hand
Mary cried, "Oh look thy Joseph, I have cherries by command"
Mary cried, "Oh look thy Joseph, I have cherries by command"
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
