The Cherry Tree Carol

The Cherry Tree Carol - Joan Baez (瓊·貝茲)

Written by：Traditional

When Joseph was an old man an old man was he

He married virgin Mary the queen of gall

He married virgin Mary the queen of gall

Joseph and Mary walked through an orchard green

There berries and cherries as thick as might be seen

There 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 Joseph 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
