Voilà c'que c'est, mon vieux Joseph
Que d'avoir pris la plus jolie
Parmi les filles de Galilée
Celle qu'on appelait Marie
2
Tu aurais pu, mon vieux Joseph
Prend
re Sarah ou Déborah
Et rien ne serait arrivé
Mais tu as préféré Marie
3
Tu aurais pu, mon vieux Joseph
Rester chez toi, tailler ton bois
Plutôt que d'aller t'exiler
Et te cacher avec Marie
4
Tu aurais pu, mon vieux Joseph
Faire des petits avec Mari
e
Et leur apprendre ton métier
Comme ton père te l'avait appris
5
Pourquoi a-t-il fallu, Joseph
Que ton enfant, cet innocent
Ait eu ces étranges idées
Qui ont tant fait pleurer Marie
6
Parfois je pense à toi, Joseph
Mon pauvre ami, lorsque l'on rit
De toi qui n'avais demandé
Qu'à vivre heureux avec Marie
