alec guinness - the cherry tree carol lyrics
joseph was an old man
an old man was he;
he married sweet mary
the queen of galilee
as they want a+walking
in the garden so gay;
maid mary spied cherries
hanging over yon tree
mary said to joseph
with her sweet lips so mild
“pluck those cherries, joseph
for to give to my child.”
“o then,” replièd joseph
with words so unkind
“i will pluck no cherries
for to give to thy child.”
mary said to cherry tree
“bow down to my knee
that i may pluck cherries
by one, two and three.”
then the uppermost sprig then
bowed down to her knee;
“thus you may see, joseph
these cherries are for me.”
o еat your cherries, mary
o eat your chеrries now
o eat your cherries, mary
that grow upon the bough
as joseph was a+walking
he heard angels sing
“this night there shall be born
our heavenly king
“he neither shall be born
in house nor in hall
nor in the place of paradise
but in an ox stall
“he shall not be clothed
in purple or pall;
but all in fair linen
as wear babies all
“he shall not be rockèd
in silver nor gold
but in a wooden cradle
that rocks on the mould
“he neither shall be christened
in milk nor in wine
but in pure spring well water
fresh sprung from bethine.”
mary took her baby
she dressed him so sweet
she laid him in a manger
all there for to sleep
as she stood over him
she heard angels sing:
“o bless our dear savior
our heavenly king.”
