G             C           G     
Joseph was an old man, an old 
      C
man was he,
        Em            C            
When he wedded Virgin Mary, in the 
D       Em
land of Galilee,
        Em            C            
When he wedded virgin Mary, in the 
D       G
land of Galilee.

G          C           G        
Joseph and Mary walked through 
          C
an orchard green,
           Em          C           
There were berries and cherries as 
D                 Em
thick as might be seen,
           Em          C           
There were berries and cherries as 
D                 G
thick as might be seen.

G               C         G     
Oh then bespoke Mary with words 
         C
meek and mild,
Em                  C           
Pluck me one cherry Joseph, for 
D         Em
I am with child,
      Em            C           D
Pluck me one cherry Joseph, for I
         Em
 am with child.

Em              D           C   
Oh then bespoke Joseph with 
        D
answer most unkind,

        Em           D            
Let him pluck thee a cherry, that 
C                 Em
brought thee with child,
        Em           C            
Let him pluck thee a cherry, that 
D                 Em
brought thee with child.

G                   C       G   
Oh then bespoke the baby within 
            C
his mothers womb,
    Em               C             
Bow down the tallest tree, that my 
D               Em
mother may have some,
    Em                    C       
Bow down then the tallest tree, 
     D              G
for my mother to have some.

G                         C       
Then bow down the tallest tree, 
G              C
unto his mothers hand,
    Em          C            
She cried; ‘see Joseph, I have 
  D           Em
cherries at command,’
         Em          C            
Then she cried; ‘see Joseph, I 
  D           G
have cherries at command.’

G                   C          G
Then Mary plucked a cherry, as 
          C
red as any blood,
     Em             C        D   
Then Mary, she went over all with
           Em
 her heavy load,
     Em        C        D        
Then Mary went over all with her 
      G
heavy load.

G               C          G    
As Joseph was a-walking he heard
          C
 an angel sing,
Em                  C        D  
This night shall be born, on 
                Em
earth our heavenly king,
Em                        C       
This night there shall be born, on
 D                  G
 earth our heavenly king.

     G             C             
Then Mary took her young son and 
G              C
set him on her knee,
         Em          C            
Saying, “dearest son tell me just 
D                    Em
how this world shall be,”
         Em          C            
Saying, “dearest son tell me just 
D                    Em
how this world shall be.”

    Em            D               
“Oh I shall be as dead mother as

the stones are in the wall,”
        Em            D           
“Oh the stones in the street 
        C             Em
mother shall sorrow for me all,”
        Em            C           
“Oh the stones in the street 
        D             Em
mother shall sorrow for me all.”

    Em              D         C  
“On easter day dear mother my 
             D
rising up shall be,”
        Em          D          
“Oh the sun and the moon mother, 
        C               Em
shall both arise with me,”
        Em          C          
“Oh the sun and the moon mother, 
        D               G
shall both arise with me.”
