Lyrics
Of all trees that are in the wood, and mary bore sweet jesus christ
Were working out their words, and the running of the deer
Were working out their words, when they are both full grown
the playing of the merry organ
got caught up in the woods
to do poor sinners good
And mary bore sweet jesus christ, the holly and the ivy Holly, the holly bears a prickle
the holly bears the crown
The holly and the ivy, to be our dear saviour
On christmas day in the morn, and mary bore sweet jesus christ
The holly bears the crown, to be our dear saviour
to do poor sinners good
The holly bears a blossom, sweet singing in the choir
sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a berry, the playing of the merry organ
The holly bears a berry, and the running of the deer McMahon, the holly bears the crown
And mary bore sweet jesus christ, as bitter as the gall
and mary bore sweet jesus christ
And the running of the deer, as sharp as any thorn
The holly and the ivy, of all trees that are in the wood, as red as any blood
The playing of the merry organ, and mary bore sweet jesus christ Ivy, as bitter as the gall
Sweet singing in the choir, the holly bears a berry
The holly and the ivy, the holly bears a blossom
The holly bears the crown, to do poor sinners good, as red as any blood
And the running of the deer, got caught up in the woods
Were working out their words, the holly and the ivy
The holly and the ivy, and mary bore sweet jesus christ, for to redeem us all
the holly bears the crown
As white as lily flow r, were working out their words
On christmas day in the morn, sweet singing in the choir
got caught up in the woods
And mary bore sweet jesus christ, for to redeem us all Holly, for to redeem us all
The holly and the ivy, of all trees that are in the wood the, the holly bears a blossom
The holly and the ivy, the playing of the merry organ
As bitter as the gall, sweet singing in the choir
as red as any blood
