lyrics

"When Joseph was a young man,
a young man was he,
he courted sweet Mary the Queen of Galillee
He courted sweet Mary the Queen of Galillee

Mary and Joseph were walking one day,
there were apples and cherries enough to behold,
there were apples and cherries enough to behold

Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild,
Go Joseph, gather cherries for I am with child.
Go Joseph, gather cherries for I am with child

Then Joseph spoke to Mary so rough and unkind,
No I’ll not gather cherries to give to thy kind
No, I’ll not gather cherries to give to thy kind

Then the cherry tree bowed down all in a sweet bow
and Mary gathered cherries enough to behold"
