The Holy and the Ivy 歌詞

The Holly and the Ivy - Mistletoe Singers

Written by:Gamley Douglas/DP

The holly and the ivy

 

When they are both full grown

 

Of all the trees

That are in the wood

The holly wears the crown

 

The rising of the sun

 

The running of the deer

The playing of the Merry Organ

Sweet singing in the choir

 

The holly bears a berry

 

As red as any blood

 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

To do poor sinners good

 

The rising of the sun

 

The running of the deer

 

The playing of the Merry Organ

Sweet singing in the choir

 

The holly bears a prickle

 

As sharp as any thorn

 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

On Christmas day in the morn'

 

The rising of the sun

 

The running of the deer

 

The playing of the Merry Organ

Sweet singing in the choir

 

The holly bears a bark

 

As bitter as any gall

 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ

For to redeem us all

 

The rising of the sun

 

The running of the deer

 

The playing of the Merry Organ

 

 

Sweet singing in the choir
