When Joseph was a young man,
a young man was he,
He courted Virgin Mary,
the Queen of Galilee.
He called it Virgin Mary,
the Queen of Galilee.
As Joseph and Mary were
walking one day,
Here is apples and cherries,
enough to behold.
Here is apples and cherries,
enough to behold.
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.
Then, flow in angry, in angry flow,
Let the father an d the baby
gather cherries for you,
Let the father and the baby
gather cherries for you.
Lord Jesus, spoke a few words,
all down unto them,
Bow low down, low down, cherry tree,
let the mother have some.
The cherry tree bowed low down,
low down to the ground,
And Mary gathered cherries
while Joseph stood around.
And Mary gathered cherries
while Joseph stood around.
Then Joseph took Mary on his right knee,
He cried, O Lord, have mercy,
for what have I done?
