Joseph took Mary In the orchard wood, Where there were apples, plumbs, cherries, As red as any blood. 3. Then bespoke Mary, So meek and so mild: Get me some cherries For my body's bound with child. 4. Joseph he's taken These words so unkind: Let them get you cherries, Mary That did your body bind. 5. Then bespoke Jesus, All in His mother's womb: Go to the tree, Mary, And it shall bow down; 6. The highest bough of the cherry tree Shall bow down to Mary's knee, And she shall have cherries For her young Son and she. 7. Mary god cherries By on, two and three; Mary got cherries For her young Son and she. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
