Jean Ritchie sings the Christmas folk song, "The Cherry Tree Carol" (aka "The Kentucky Cherry Three Carol" or Child Ballad #54). The Irish folk group, The Clancy Brothers, recorded this song under the title "When Joseph Was an Old Man."

It was collected in the early 20th century in the Appalachian Mountains of America by Francis James Child.
