         G            Ami    D   G            Ami D
1. When Joseph was an old man an old man was he
          G              Ami D   G         Ami D
   [: he married Virgin Mary the Queen of Galilee. :]

2. And day as they were walking all in the garden green
   [: there were berries and cherries as thick as may be seen. :]

3. Then Mary said to Joseph so meek and so mild:
   [: "Joseph gather me some cherries for I am with child." :]

4. The Joseph flew in anger in anger flew he:
   [: "Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee." :]

5. Then up spoke baby Jesus from out Mary's womb:
   [: "Bow down ye tallest tree that my mother might have some." :]

6. So bent down the tallest tree to touch Mary's hand
   [: said she: "Oh look now Joseph I have cherries at command." :]
