[Verse 1]
Down with the rosemary and bay
Down with the mistletoe
Instead of holly, now upraise
The greener box to show
The greener box to show
[Verse 2]
The holly hither oh did sway
Let box now domineer
Until the dancing Easter day
On Easter's eve appear
On Easter's eve appear
[Chorus]
Those times do shift, those times do shift
Each thing its time doth hold
New things succeed, new things succeed
As former things grow old
[Verse 3]
Now youthful box which now has grace
Your houses to renew
Grown old surrender must its place
Unto the freshened yew
Unto the freshened yew
[Chorus]
Those times do shift, those times do shift
Each thing its time doth hold
New things succeed, new things succeed
As former things grow old
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
When yew is out then birch comes in
And many the flowers besides
Both of a fresh and fragrant kin
To honor Whitsuntide
To honor Whitsuntide
[Chorus]
Those times do shift, those times do shift
Each thing its time doth hold
New things succeed, new things succeed
As former things grow old
[Verse 1]
Down with the rosemary and bay
Down with the mistletoe
Instead of holly, now upraise
The greener box to show
The greener box to show
[Chorus]
Those times do shift, those times do shift
Each thing its time doth hold
New things succeed, new things succeed
As former things grow old
Those times do shift, those times do shift
Each thing its time doth hold
New things succeed, new things succeed
As former things grow old
