The Holly & the Ivy

The Holly & the Ivy - Kate Magdalena

...

The holy and the ivy, when they were both full grown of all the trees that are in the the wood, the holy bears the crown

CHORUS: from the rising of the sun, to the running of the deer, and playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.

The holy bears a blossom as white as any flower, and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, to be our sweet saviour

The holy bears a berry as red as any blood, and Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ to do poor sinners good.

CHORUS:CHORUS: from the rising of the sun, to the running of the deer, and playing of the merry organ, sweet singing in the choir.
