The Holly and the Ivy - Allan Phillips/Natalya Phillips
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all 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'are
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our dear Saviour
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 and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all 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 and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all 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'are
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be our dear Saviour
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
