rate meWhen joseph was an old man, an old man was he<br>He married virgin mary, the queen of galilee<br>He married virgin mary, the queen of galilee<br><br>And one day as they went walking, all in the garden green<br>There were berries and cherries as thick as may be seen<br>There were berries and cherries as thick as may be seen<br><br>Then mary said to joseph, so meek and so mild<br>Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with child<br>Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with child<br><br>The joseph flew in anger, in anger flew he<br>Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee<br>Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee<br><br>Then up spoke baby jesus, from out mary's womb<br>Bow down ye tallest tree that my mother might have some<br>Bow down ye tallest tree that my mother might have some<br><br>So bent down the tallest tree to touch mary's hand<br>Said she, oh look now joseph, I have cherries at command<br>Said she, oh look now joseph, I have cherries at command<br><br>When joseph was an old man, an old man was he<br>He married virgin mary, the queen of galilee<br>He married virgin mary, the queen of galilee
