As Joseph and Mary
8
Walked through an orchard green,
9
There were apples and cherries
10
Plenty there to be seen,
11
There were apples and cherries
12
Plenty there to be seen.

Then Mary spoke to Joseph,
14
So meek and so mild,
15
"Joseph, gather me some cherries,
16
For I am with Child,

Joseph, gather me some cherries,
18
For I am with Child."

Gather cherries for thee,

Let the father of the baby

Gather cherries for thee."

Bow low down, cherry tree,

Let my mother have some cherries,

Bow low down, cherry tree."

32
Bowed low down to the ground,

And Mary gathered cherries,

While Joseph stood around,

All on his right knee:

"Oh, what have I done, Lord?

Have mercy on me.

Oh, what have I done, Lord?
42
Have mercy on me."

"Oh, tell me, little Baby,
46
When Thy Birthday will be,
47
Oh, tell me, little Baby,
48
When Thy Birthday will be."

"On the fifth day of January
50
My Birthday will be,
51
When the stars and the elements
52
Shall tremble with fear,
53
When the stars and the elements
54
Shall tremble with fear."
