The Cherry Tree Carol - Joan Baez
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 berries and cherries
As thick as might be seen
There were berries and cherries
As thick as might be seen
Mary spoke 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
Cried she oh look thou Joseph
I have cherries by command
