The Holly and the Ivy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, 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]
O, the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Verse 2]
Oh, the holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
To do poor sinners good

[Chorus]
O, the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Verse 3]
Oh, the holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
For to redeem us all

[Chorus]
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Post-Chorus]
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Verse 4]
Oh, the holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
On Christmas Day in the morn

[Chorus]
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Verse 5]
Oh, the holly bears a flower
As white as any milk
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
All wrapped up in silk

[Chorus]
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Verse 1]
Oh, the holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown

[Chorus]
O, the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir
O, the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Post-Chorus]
Sweet singing all in the choir
Sweet singing all in the choir

[Outro]
Sweet singing all in the choir
