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
Joseph and Mary
Walked through an orchard green
There were cherries and berries
As thick as might be seen
There were cherries and berries
As thick as might be seen
Mary said 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 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"
Then up spoke baby Jesus
From in Mary's womb
"Bend down the tallest branches
That my mother might have some
Bend down the tallest branches
That my mother might have some"
And bent down the tallest branch
'Til it touched Mary's hand
Cried she, "Oh, look thou Joseph
I have cherries by command
Oh, look thou Joseph
I have cherries by command"
