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. As Joseph and Mary Walked through an orchard green, There were apples and cherries Plenty there to be seen, There were apples and cherries Plenty there to be seen. Then Mary spoke 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 SongtexteGather cherries for thee." Then Jesus spoke a few words, A few words spoke He, "Let my mother have some cherries, Bow low down, cherry tree, Let my mother have some cherries, Bow low down, cherry tree." The cherry tree bowed low down, Bowed low down to the ground, And Mary gathered cherries, While Joseph stood around, And Mary gathered cherries, While Joseph stood around. Then Joseph took Mary All on his right knee: "Oh, what have I done, Lord? Have mercy on me. Oh, what have I done, Lord? Have mercy on me." Then Joseph took Mary All on his left knee: "Oh, tell me, little Baby, When Thy Birthday will be, Oh, tell me, little Baby, When Thy Birthday will be." "On the fifth day of January My Birthday will be, When the stars and the elements Shall tremble with fear, When the stars and the elements Shall tremble with fear." Aus Songtexte Mania
