[Verse 1]
As Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels sing
He listened to them talking, the good news that they bring
A babe is born to thee this night, but not in house nor hall
When Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels call

[Verse 2]
His mother will not dress him in purple nor in pall
But in fair white linen just like the sweet babes all
A babe is born to thee this night but not in house nor hall
When Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels call

[Verse 3]
He will not lay his head down on silver nor on gold
But in a wooden cradle that rocks therе on the mould
A babe is born to thee this night but not in house nor hall
Whеn Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels call

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 4]
He neither shall be christened in red wine nor in white
But with the fair spring water awash with warm starlight
A babe is born to thee this night but not in house nor hall
When Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels call
[Verse 1]
When Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels sing
He listened to them talking, the good news that they bring
A babe is born to thee this night, a babe who will be King
When Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels sing
When Joseph was a-walking he heard the angels sing
He heard the angels sing
