Cherry Tree Carol Liedtext

Joseph was an old man
An old man was he
When he married Virgin Mary
in the land of Galilee.
When he wedded Virgin Mary
in the land of Galilee.
 
Joseph and Mary
Walked through an orchard green
Where were berries and cherries
As thick as might be seen.
Where were berries and cherries
As thick as might be seen.
 
Then bespoke Mary in a voice meek and mild
Pluck me one cherry, Joseph,
For I am with child.
Pluck me one cherry, Joseph,
For I am with child.
 
Oh, then bespoke Joseph in a voice most unkind
Let him pluck thee a cherry
that brought thee with child.
Let him pluck thee a cherry
that brought thee with child.
 
Oh, then bespoke the babe
within his mother's womb,
Bow down the tallest tree,
That my mother may have some.
Bow down the tallest tree,
That my mother may have some.
 
Then bowed down the tallest tree
Unto his mother's hand
She said, "See, Joseph, I have cherries
at command".
She said, "See, Joseph, I have cherries
at command".
 
Then Mary plucked a cherry
as red as any blood
Mary, she went homeward
all with her heavy load
And Mary, she went homeward
all with her heavy load.
 
As Joseph was a walkin'
He heard an angel sing
"This night on earth there shall
be born your heavenly king".
"This night on earth there shall
be born your heavenly king".
 
Then Mary took her young son
and put him on her knee
Saying, "Dearest son tell me
just how this world shall be"
Saying, "Dearest son tell me
just how this world shall be".
 
Oh, I shall be as dead, mother,
as the stones are in the wall,
Oh, the stones in the street, mother,
shall sorrow for me all.
The stones in the street, mother,
shall sorrow for me all.
 
On Easter Day, dear mother,
my rising up shall be
And the sun and the moon, mother,
Shall both arise with me.
The sun and the moon, mother,
Shall both arise with me.
