The holly and the ivy歌词

The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all trees that are in the woods
The holly bears the crown

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
In the choir

The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet saviour

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
In the choir

The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To do poor sinners good

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
In the choir

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
In the choir

O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
Sweet singing in the choir
