The Holly & The Ivy - Natalie Cole
The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all the trees That are in the wood, The holly wears the crown [Chorus] O' the rising of the sun The running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir Sweet singing in the choir The holly bears a blossom As white as lily flower And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To be our sweet Savior [Chorus] The holly bears a berry As red as any blood And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ To do poor sinners good [Chorus] The holly bears a prickle As sharp as any thorn And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ On Christmas day in the morn [Chorus] The holly bears a bark As bitter as any gall And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ For to redeem us all [Chorus] The holly and the ivy When they are both full grown Of all the trees That are in the wood The holly wears the crown [Chorus]
