Lyrics
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flow'r
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Savior
And we sing lully, lullay
Thou tiny child
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
For to redeem us all
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
And singing in the choir
And we sing lully, lullay
Thou tiny child
Bye, bye, lully, lullay
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
