1. O, Joseph being an old man truly, He married a virgin fair and free; A purer virgin could no man see Than he chose for his wife and his dearest dear. 2 They lived both in joy and bliss; But now a strict commandment is, In Jewry-land no man should miss To go along with his dearest dear 3. Unto the place where he was born, Unto the Emperor to be sworn, To pay a tribute that's duly known, Both for himself and his dearest dear. 4. And when they were to Bethlehem come, The inns were filled, both all and some; For Joseph entreated them, every one, Both for himself and his dearest dear. 5. Then they were constrained presently Within a stable all night to lie, Where they did oxen and asses tie, With his true love and his dearest dear. 6. The king of all power was in Bethlehem born, Who wore for our sakes a crown of thorn, Then God preserve us both even and morn For Jesus' sake, our dearest dear.
