(I'm not so sure if the lyrics to this one are inspired, anyway I've included it - Editor) From: Guitar Picker (www.gospelmusic.tk) Traditional The Cherry Tree Carol D G D G D When Joseph was an old man, an old man was he A D G D He married Virgin Mary the Queen of Galilee A D G D A D He married Virgin Mary the Queen of Galilee Then Mary spoke 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 grew in anger, in anger grew he Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee Let the father of the baby gather cherries for thee Then Jesus spoke a few words, a few words spoke He Let my mother have some cherries, bow low down cherry tree Let my mother have some cherries, bow low down cherry tree The cherry tree bowed down, bowed down to the ground And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood around And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood aroundHome
