Now the holly she bears a berry as white as the milk,
And Mary she bore Jesus who’s wrapped up in silk.
And Mary she bore Jesus, our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Holly, holly,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Now the holly she bears a berry as green as the grass,
And Mary she bore Jesus aho died on the cross.
And Mary she bore Jesus, our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Holly, holly,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Now the holly she bears a berry as black as the coal,
And Mary she bore Jesus who died for us all.
And Mary she bore Jesus, our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Holly, holly,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Now the holly she bears a berry as blood it is red,
And we trust in our Saviour who rose from the dead.
And Mary she bore Jesus, our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
Holly, holly,
And the first tree that’s in the green wood
It was the holly.
