[Verse 3]
     D                           
And Mary spoke to Joseph, so meek 
        A
and so mild:
          G              D        
"Joseph, gather me some cherries, 
      A         D
for I am with child,"
          G              D        
"Joseph, gather me some cherries, 
      A         D
for I am with child."

[Verse 4]
      D                            
And Joseph flew in anger, in anger 
     A
flew he,
      G                 D         
"Let the father of the baby gather
           A   D
 cherries for thee!"
      G                 D         
"Let the father of the baby gather
           A   D
 cherries for thee!"

[Verse 5]
     D                          
Then up spoke baby Jesus from in 
         A
Mary's womb:
       G                D         
"Bend down the tallest tree, that 
            A         D
my mother might have some,"
       G                D         
"Bend down the tallest tree, that 
            A         D
my mother might have some."

[Verse 6]
     D                          
And bent down the tallest branch 
                         A
till it touched Mary's hand,
       G                  D       
Cried she: "Oh look thou Joseph, I
               A   D
 have cherries by command."
       G                  D       
Cried she: "Oh look thou Joseph, I
               A   D
 have cherries by command."
