1. Oh, Joseph, Mary, and JesusWere travelling for the west;When Mary grew a-wearyShe might sit down and rest.2. They travelled further and further,The weather being so warm,Till they came unto a husbandmanA-sowing of his corn.3. “Come, husbandman,” cried Jesus,“Cast all your seed away,And carry home as ripened cornWhat you have sowed this day.4. “To keep your wife and familyFrom sorrow, grief, and pain,And keep Christ in remembranceTill seed-time comes again.”
