Shirley Collins The Cherry Tree Carol歌词


Joseph was an old man, and an old man was he
When he met Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee
As Mary and Joseph were walking one day
To an orchard of cherry trees they chanced for to stay

Then Mary said to Joseph, so meek and so mild
"Pick me some cherries Joseph, for I am with child."
But Joseph was angry, so angry for he (said)
"Let the father of your baby gather cherries for thee!"

Then up spoke Lord Jesus from in his mother's womb
"Bow down the tallest cherry trees bow down to the ground."
And the cherry trees they bowed down, bowed low to the ground
And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood around

Then Joseph took Mary all upon his right knee
"Come tell me pretty baby when you birthday shall be?"
"On the fifth day of January my birthday shall be,
"and the stars and the heavens shall all bow down to me."
