The Cherry Tree Carol

The Cherry Tree Carol - Joan Baez (琼·贝兹)

Written by：Ashley Hutchings/Kenneth Nicol/Simon Care/Kellie While

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

And Mary spoke 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 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

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh
