|
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 |
