The Holly & the Ivy Lyrics
The Holly & the Ivy - Mary Carson Doyle
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
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 flower
And mary bore little child
To be our sweet saviour
The rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
Sweet singing
Sweet singing of the choir
