lyrics

Now I must leave her
I’ll do it quietly
I’ll send her far away
Far from her family

Oh but I love her
My heart is torn in two
All of the plans we’d made
I just can’t believe it’s true

Joseph Joseph do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife
Joseph Joseph by the Holy Spirit the child was given life

Ah but she’s guilty
It’s plain for all to see
I promised her everything
How could she do this to me

She seemed so innocent
I can’t stand this jealousy
I would give anything
To find out who stole her from me

Joseph Joseph do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife
Joseph Joseph by the Holy Spirit the child was given life

How can I forgive her
My friends all mock me in the street
How can I be with her
Can I believe she didn’t cheat?
