The Cherry Tree Carol 歌詞

 

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

 

But Joseph flew angry so angry flew he

 

Let the father of your baby gather cherries for thee

 

The 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 Joseph stood round

 

Then Joseph took mary all upon his right knee

Come tell me pretty baby when your birthday shall be

 

On the fifth day of January my birthday shall be

 

 

And the stars in the heaven shall all bow down to me
