traditional - the holly and the ivy lyrics

the holly and the ivy,
were working out their words.
when something happened poor jesus christ,
got caught up in the woods:
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 dear 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 bark,
as bitter as the 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
