Letra The Holly And The Ivy de Christmas Songs original
The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown Refrain:> 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 dear Saviour Refrain> The holly bears a berry, As red as any blood, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, To do poor sinners good Refrain> The holly bears a prickle, As sharp as any thorn, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, On Christmas Day in the morn Refrain> The holly bears a bark, As bitter as the gall, And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, For to redeem us all Refrain> The holly and the ivy, When they are both full grown, Of all trees that are in the wood, The holly bears the crown Refrain>
