Lyrics
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly tree bears the crown
For the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir
The holly tree bears a blossom
As white as any flower
And Mary she bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Saviour
For the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir
The holly tree bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary she bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do us both sinners good
For the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir
The holly tree bears a prickles
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary she bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
For the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly tree bears the crown
For the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
And the playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir
