Oh, here is apples and cherries,

Here is apples and cherries,
so fair to behold.
Mary said to Joseph,
and to Joseph said she,
(F sharp minor) Oh, go (D major) an d gather me some cherries,
for I am with child. (F sharp minor)
(D major) Go and gather me some cherries,
for I am with child.
Joseph flew in angry,
and in angry flew he.
Said, no, I'll gather no cherries
to give to your child. (F sharp major)
(D major) Said, no, I'll gather no cherries
to give to your child.
Then up spoke Lord Jesus
from his mother's womb,
said, bow low, low, cherry tree,
bow you low down to the (F sharp minor) ground,
(D major) said, bow low, low, cherry tree,
Bow you low down to the ground. (G minor)
(D major) Well, the cherry tree bowed low down,
low down to the ground.
And Mary gathered cherries
while Joseph stood around.
And Mary gathered cherries
while Joseph stood around.
Then Joseph took Mary,
all on his right knee,
says tell me pretty baby
when your birthday shall be.
Oh says tell me pretty baby
when your birthday shall be.
On the (D major) sixth (A major) day (D major) of January,
(D major) my birthday shall be.
When the stars and the elements
doth tremble with glee.
