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

The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flow'r
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
To be our sweet saviour:

Refrain

The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
To do poor sinners good:

Refrain

The holly bears a p____le
As sharp as any thorn
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
On christmas day in the morn:

Refrain

The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
To do poor sinners good:

Refrain

The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
For to redeem us all:

Refrain

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

Refrain
