STING - Cherry Tree Carol lyrics

rate me

When Joseph was an old man, an old man was he<br />

He courted Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee<br />

He courted Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee<br />

<br />

When Joseph and Mary were walking one day<br />

Here is apples and cherries so fair to behold<br />

Here is apples and cherries so fair to behold<br />

<br />

Then Mary spoke to Joseph so meek and so mild<br />

"Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with child"<br />

"Oh Joseph, gather me some cherries for I am with child "<br />

<br />

Then Joseph flew in anger, in anger he flew<br />

"Oh, let the father of the baby gather cherries for you"<br />

"Oh, let the father of the baby gather cherries for you"<br />

<br />

So the cherry-tree bowed low down, low down to the ground<br />

And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood down<br />

And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood down<br />

<br />

Then Joseph took Mary all on his right knee<br />

Crying, "Lord, have mercy for what I have done"<br />

Crying, "Lord, have mercy for what I have done"<br />

<br />

When Joseph was an old man, an old man was he<br />

He courted Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee<br />

He courted Virgin Mary, the queen of Galilee<br /><br />
