José Feliciano - The Cherry Tree Carol lyrics

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 cherries
And berries as thick
As might be seen there were cherries
And berries 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 Jesus
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
Oh look thou Joseph i have cherries
By command
