Saint Joseph and Mary
From a French Folk-Song
By Marie Clothilde Balfour
Saint Joseph and Mary,
A-journeying went they:
Saint-Joseph and Mary, O gay !
A-don-don-delle :
A-journeying went they,
Noel!
When they came to the town,
They knew not where to stay :
When they came to the town, O gay !
A-don-don-delle :
They knew not where to stay,
Noel!
But a poor widow gave them
A stable where they lay :
A poor widow gave them, O gay!
A-don-don-delle :
A stable where they lay :
Noel!
