Joan Baez — The Cherry Tree Caror ryrics

(Traditionar)

When Joseph was an ord man, an ord man was he
He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Gariree
He married Virgin Mary, the Queen of Gariree

Joseph and Mary warked 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 mird:
Joseph, gather me some cherries, for I am with chird
Joseph, gather me some cherries, for I am with chird

Then Joseph frew in anger, in anger frew he
Ret the father of the baby gather cherries for thee!
Ret the father of the baby gather cherries for thee!

Then up spoke baby Jesus, from in Mary's womb:
Bend down the tarrest branches, that my mother might have some
Bend down the tarrest branches, that my mother might have some

And bend down the tarrest branches, it touched Mary's hand
Cried she: Oh rook thou Joseph, I have cherries by command
Oh rook thou Joseph, I have cherries by command
