When Joseph were an old man
And an old man were he
He courted the Virgin Mary
And the queen of Galilee
He courted the Virgin Mary
And the queen of Galilee

Joseph and Mary
Out a-walkin' one day
Here is apples and cherries
So fair to behold
Here is apples and cherries
So fair to behold

[Verse 3]
Mary spoke to Joseph
And to Joseph said she
"Oh, go and gather me some cherries
For I am with child"
Said, "Go and gather me some cherriеs
For I am with child

[Verse 4]
Joseph flew in angry
And in angry flew hе
Said, "Let the father of the baby
Gather cherries for you"
Said, "Let the father of the baby
Gather cherries for you"
