The Cherry Tree Carol

	作词 : Traditional
	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 bend down the tallest branches, 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
