Mmm
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 in the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flow'r
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our sweet Savior
O, the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
Mmm
The holly bears a prickle
Sharp as any thorn
And Mary bore sweet Jesus
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 in the choir
Mmm
Mmm
