The Holly And The Ivy Lyrics - The Roches

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 

Oh, 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 flower 

And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ 

To be our dear Savior 

Oh, the rising of the sun 

And the running of the deer 

The playing of the merry organ 

Sweet singing in the choir
