The Holly and the Ivy (song)

The Holly and the Ivy is a well known old English Christmas carol.
==Lyrics==
:The holy and the ivy, now they are both well grown
:Of all the trees within the wood, the holy bears the crown
: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 any flower
:And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, to be our sweet saviour
:O the rising of the sun, the running of the deer
:The playing of the merry organ, sweat singing in the choir
:Sweet singing in the choir
:The holly bears a berry, as red as any blood
:And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, to do poor sinners good
:O the rising of the sun, the running of the deer
:The playing of the merry organ, sweat singing in the choir
:Sweet singing in the choir
:The holy bears a prickle, as sharp as any thorn
:And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ, on Christmas day in the morn
: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
