One of the oldest Christmas carols still sung today, carried from medieval England and preserved in Appalachian tradition. A big thank you to William Ritter for introducing this song and sharing the lyrics with us. #cherrytreecarol #traditionalmusic #history #appalachianmusic #FolkChristmas | Bandana Rhythm
