[00:02.44]The holly and the ivy
[00:04.84]Now both are full well grown
[00:07.62]Of all the trees that are in the wood
[00:09.92]The holly bears the crown
[00:11.25]
[00:12.17]Oh the rising of the sun
[00:14.50]And the running of the deer
[00:17.74]The playing of the merry organ
[00:19.62]Sweet singing in the choir
[00:23.08]The holly bears a blossom
[00:25.08]As white as lily flower
[00:28.23]And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
[00:30.17]To be our sweet saviour
[00:32.86]Oh the rising of the sun
[00:35.19]And the running of the deer
[00:37.80]The playing of the merry organ
[00:40.37]Sweet singing in the choir
[00:44.46]The holly bears a berry
[00:46.87]As red as any blood
[00:49.50]And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
[00:51.89]To do poor sinners good
[00:54.13]Oh the rising of the sun
[00:56.82]And the running of the deer
[00:59.31]The playing of the merry organ
[01:01.77]Sweet singing in the choir
[01:06.02]The holly bears a prickle
[01:08.02]As sharp as any thorn
[01:10.69]And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
[01:13.25]On Christmas Day in the morn
[01:15.51]Oh the rising of the sun
[01:18.02]And the running of the deer
[01:20.47]The playing of the merry organ
[01:22.97]Sweet singing in the choir
[01:26.65]The holly bears a bark
[01:28.20]
[01:29.11]As bitter as any gall
[01:31.29]And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
[01:33.13]For to redeem us all
[01:36.19]Oh the rising of the sun
[01:38.66]And the running of the deer
[01:41.17]The playing of the merry organ
[01:43.69]Sweet singing in the choir
[01:45.86]Oh the rising of the sun
[01:48.28]And the running of the deer
[01:50.75]The playing of the merry organ
[01:53.22]Sweet singing in the choir
