When Joseph was an old man, and an old man was he He wedded Virgin Mary the queen of Galilee He wedded Virgin Mary the queen of Galilee When Joseph was married and brought Mary home Mary was with child and Joseph hadn't known Mary was with child and Joseph hadn't known As they went a-walking through the garden so green There were cherries and berries hanging from a tree There were cherries and berries hanging from a tree Up then bespoke Mary, so meek and so mild Saying, "Joseph, pluck some cherries, for I am with child" Saying, "Joseph, pluck some cherries, for I am with child" In anger spoke Joseph, in anger spoke he "Let the father of your baby pick cherries for thee" "Let the father of your baby pick cherries for thee" Then out spoke baby Jesus, from his mother's womb "Mary shall have cherries and Joseph shall have none" "Mary shall have cherries and Joseph shall have none" Then down bowed the cherry tree all down to the ground And Mary plucked cherries while Joseph stood around And Mary plucked cherries while Joseph stood around As Joseph was a-walking he heard angels sing "This night shall be born our heavenly king" "This night shall be born our heavenly king"
