Natalie Cole – The Holly & The Ivy lyrics
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 Saviour
[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:]
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 Saviour
[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:]
