The Cherry Three 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 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 tree that my mother might have some
Bend down the tallest tree 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
