Cherry Tree Carol Lyrics by The Chad Mitchell Trio

The Best of the Chad Mitchell Trio (The Mercury Years)

0

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Joseph and Mary
Walked through an orchard green
Where were apples and cherries
As thick as might be seen
Where were apples and cherries
As thick as might be seen

[Verse 3]
Then 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"

[Verse 4]
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"

[Verse 5]
Then Jesus spoke a few words
A few words spoke he
"Let my mother have some cherries
Bow low down, cherry tree
Let my mother have some cherries
Bow low down, cherry tree"

[Verse 6]
Then the cherry tree bowed down
Bowed low down to her hand
And she cried, "Look, Joseph
I've cherries by command"
And she cried, "Look, Joseph
I've cherries by command"

[Verse 7]
Then Mary gathered cherries
Gathered cherries did she
And Joseph said in sorrow
"Lord, have mercy on me"
And Joseph said in sorrow
"Lord, have mercy on me"
