Cherry Tree Carol (Album Version)

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

Cherry Tree Carol (Album Version) - Emmylou Harris

Mary and Joseph walk through an orchid green

There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen

There were berries and cherries as thick as might be seen

And 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

And Joe 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 bent down tallest branch till 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
