Annie Lennox – As Joseph Was A Walking (The Cherry Tree Carol) lyrics
As Joseph was a-walking he heard an Angel sing
This night shall be the birth time of Christ the heavenly king

As Joseph was a-walking he heard an Angel sing
This night shall be the birth time of Christ the heavenly king

He neither shall be borned in housen nor in hall
Nor in the place of paradise but in an ox's stall

He neither shall be clothed in purple nor in pall
But in fair white linen as usen babies all

He neither shall be rocked in silver nor in gold
But in a wooden cradle that rocks upon the mold

He neither shall be christen'd in white wine nor in red
But in the fair spring water with which we were christened

He neither shall be borned in housen nor in hall
Nor in the place of paradise but in an ox's stall

As Joseph was a-walking he heard the angel sing
This night shall be the birth time of Christ the heavenly king

Allelulah
Allelulah

Allelulah
