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 flower
And mary bore
Sweet jesus christ to be a sweet savior
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
The holly bears a berry as red as any blood
And mary bore
Sweet jesus christ to do poor sinners good
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
The mighty of the song
The song of the deer
The telling of the merry organ
Merry singing in the
Singing in the singing in the choir
The holly bears a prickle as sharp as any thorn
And mary bore
Sweet jesus christ on christmas day in the morn
The rising of the sun and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The rising of the sun and the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
I
Sweet singing in the choir
