Elizabeth Mitchell - Joseph and Mary (The Cherry Tree Carol) текст песни

Исполнитель: Elizabeth Mitchell

альбом: The Sounding Joy: Christmas Songs in and out of the Ruth Crawford Seeger Songbook


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 slick as might be seen
There were cherries and berries as slick 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 sprung Baby Jesus from in his Mother's womb
Said "bow low, low cherry tree, bow low down to the ground"
Said "bow low, low cherry tree, bow low down to the ground"
Then the cherry tree bowed low down, 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 upon his right knee
He said "Tell me, pretty baby, when your birthday shall be"
"Come and tell me, pretty baby, when your birthday shall be"
On the sixth day of January, my birthday will be
When the stars and the elements shall all tremble with glee
When the stars and the elements shall all tremble with glee
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
