Lyrics The Holly and the Ivy - Kate Rusby
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.
CHORUS:
O
the
rusing
of
the
sun,
And
the
running
of
the
deer,
The
laying
of
the
merry
organ,
Sweet
singing
all
in
the
choir,
The
holly
bears
a
berry,
As
red
as
any
blood,
And
Mary
bore
sweet
Jesus,
To
do
poor
sinners
good.
CHORUS
The
holly
bears
a
blossom,
As
white
as
lily
flower,
And
Mary
bore
sweet
Jesus,
To
be
our
sweet
Saviour.
CHORUS
The
holly
bears
a
bark,
As
bitter
as
any
gall,
And
Mary
bore
sweet
Jesus,
For
to
redeem
us
all
CHORUS
The
holly
bears
a
prickle,
As
sharp
as
any
thorn,
And
Mary
bore
sweet
Jesus,
On
Christmas
Day
in
the
morn.
CHORUS
Oh
the
holly
bears
a
flower,
As
white
as
any
milk,
And
Mary
bore
sweet
Jesus
All
wrapped
up
in
silk.
