| [00:13.626] |
|
| [00:17.052] |
Joseph was an old man, |
| [00:20.618] |
And an old man was he, |
| [00:25.735] |
When he married Virgin Mary, |
| [00:29.469] |
The Queen of Galilee. —— |
| [00:33.310] |
|
| [00:35.064] |
As Mary and Joseph |
| [00:38.288] |
Were walking one day |
| [00:43.397] |
To an orchard of cherry trees |
| [00:47.135] |
They chanced for to stray. |
| [00:50.888] |
|
| [00:58.992] |
Then Mary said to Joseph, |
| [01:02.774] |
So meek and so mild, |
| [01:08.055] |
“Pick me some cherries, Joseph, |
| [01:11.950] |
For I am with child.” |
| [01:15.963] |
|
| [01:17.199] |
But Joseph flew angry, |
| [01:20.779] |
So angry flew he, |
| [01:25.870] |
“Let the father of your baby |
| [01:29.796] |
Gather cherries for thee.” |
| [01:33.819] |
|
| [01:49.004] |
Then up spoke Lord Jesus |
| [01:52.670] |
From in his mother's womb, |
| [01:57.013] |
“Bow low down, cherry trees, |
| [02:00.124] |
Bow down to the ground.” |
| [02:03.642] |
|
| [02:05.089] |
And the cherry trees all bowed down, |
| [02:08.780] |
Bowed low to the ground, |
| [02:13.946] |
And Mary gathered cherries |
| [02:17.787] |
While Joseph stood round. |
| [02:21.718] |
|
| [02:26.335] |
Then Joseph he kneeled down |
| [02:30.105] |
All upon his right knee, |
| [02:35.208] |
“Come tell me, pretty baby, |
| [02:38.888] |
When your birthday shall be.” |
| [02:42.945] |
|
| [02:47.824] |
“On the fifth day of January |
| [02:51.514] |
My birthday shall be, |
| [02:56.632] |
And the stars in the heaven |
| [03:00.395] |
Shall all bow down to me.” |
| [03:05.038] |
|
| [03:07.532] |
