Lyrics
1. St Joseph was a carpenter he worked hard and well,With saw and plane and nails and wood he made strong things to sell.
Chorus:
You'd hear him singing
And his hammer ringing
For St Joseph was a happy man!
2. He took good care of Jesus Christ who was God’s Son he knew.
They loved each other very much and helped each other too.
3. And he worked hard to help his wife as every husband should,
And when her birthday came around He’d make a gift from wood.
4. They were a happy family just like our own should be.
If we love one another well We shall be like those three.
