The Holly and the Ivy - 群星
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
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
To be our sweet saviour
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
To do poor sinners good
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
On christmas day in the morn
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
And mary bore sweet jesus christ
For to redeem us all
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing
Sweet singing of the choir
