The story is derived from the apocryphal Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew
When Joseph was an old man an old man was he
He courted Virgin Mary the Queen of Galilee.
When Joseph and Mary were walking one day
Here is apples and cherries so fair to behold.
Then Mary spoke to Joseph so meek and so mild
`Joseph gather me some cherries for I am with child.`
Then Joseph flew in anger in anger he flew
`O let the father of the baby gather cherries for you.`
Well the cherry-tree bowed low down bowed down to the ground
And Mary gathered cherries while Joseph stood down.
Then Joseph took Mary all on his right knee
Crying `Lord have mercy for what I have done.`
When Joseph was an old man an old man was he
He courted Virgin Mary the Queen of Galilee.
