mediaeval baebes - the holly & the ivy lyrics
the holly and the ivy
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 pr-ckle,
as sharp as any th-rn,
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
