Cherry Tree Carol letra

Two Three Four

Joseph was an old man
An old man was he
When he married Virgin Mary
The queen of Galilee

As Mary and Joseph
Were walking one day
To an orchard of cherry trees
They chanced for to stray

Then Mary said to Joseph
So meek and so mild
"Pick me some cherries Joseph
For I am with child"

Then Joseph flew angry
So angry flew he
"Let the father of your baby
Gather cherries for thee"

Then up spoke Lord Jesus
From in his mother's womb
"Bow low down cherry trees
Bow down to the ground"

And the cherry trees bowed down
Bowed low to the ground
And Mary gathered cherries
While Joesph stood round

Then Joseph he kneeled down
A question gave he
"Come tell me pretty baby
When your birthday shall be"

"On fifth day of January
My birthday shall be
And the stars in the heavens
Shall all bow down to me"
