The Holly And The Ivy
Vanessa Williams Song Lyrics

Artist: Vanessa Williams
Album: Silver & Gold (2004)

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]
