Sans Day Carol

Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk

And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk

And Mary bore Jesus Christ, our Saviour for to be

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Holly! Holly!

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass

And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross

And Mary bore Jesus Christ, our Saviour for to be

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Holly! Holly!

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal

And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all

And Mary bore Jesus Christ, our Saviour for to be

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Holly! Holly!

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!

Now the holly bears a berry, as blood, it is red

Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead

And Mary bore Jesus Christ, our Saviour for to be

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly

Holly! Holly!

And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly!
