Artist: John Mcdermott Album: Christmas Memories
Lyrics
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 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 berry As sweet as any flower And mary bore sweet jesus christ To be our sweet saviour 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 berry As red as any blood; And mary bore sweet jesus christ For to do us sinners good 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 prickle As sharp as any thorn And mary bore sweet jesus christ On christmas day in the morn' 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 bark As bitter as any gall; And mary bore sweet jesus christ For to redeem us all The rising of the sun And the running of the deer The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir The playing of the merry organ Sweet singing in the choir
