Cherry Tree Carol
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
Mary and Joseph walked through an orchard green
There were berries and cherries, as thick as might be seen
There were berries and cherries, as thick as might be seen
When 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 tree, that my mother might have some
Bend down the tallest tree, that my mother might have some
Then bend down the tallest branch, 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
Canção da Cerejeira
Quando José era um velho, um velho ele era
Casou com a Virgem Maria, a Rainha da Galileia
Casou com a Virgem Maria, a Rainha da Galileia
Maria e José andaram por um pomar verde
Havia frutas e cerejas, tão densas quanto se podia ver
Havia frutas e cerejas, tão densas quanto se podia ver
Quando Maria disse a José, tão mansa e tão calma
José, me arruma umas cerejas, pois estou grávida
José, me arruma umas cerejas, pois estou grávida
Então José ficou furioso, furioso ele ficou
Deixa o pai do bebê pegar as cerejas pra você!
Deixa o pai do bebê pegar as cerejas pra você!
Então falou o bebê Jesus, de dentro da barriga de Maria
Dobre a árvore mais alta, pra minha mãe pegar um pouquinho
Dobre a árvore mais alta, pra minha mãe pegar um pouquinho
Então dobre o galho mais alto, que tocou a mão de Maria
Ela gritou, oh olha José, eu tenho cerejas por ordem
Oh olha José, eu tenho cerejas por ordem
