The Holly and the Ivy Lyrics

The Holly and the Ivy Song Lyrics

---

The holly and the ivy
When they are full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly stands alone

The holly bears a blossom
As white as lilly flower
As beautiful as snowfall
More beautiful each hour

Oh, the risig of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the pretty flute
Sweet music to the ear
Lovely music far and near

The holly bears a berry
As red as any rose
And somehow seems so merry
Than any tree that grows

But the holly bears a prickle
As sharp as it can be
Just beware the thron might stick you
So pick it carefully

Oh, the rising of the sun
The running of the deer
The playing of the pretty flute
Sweet music to the ear
Hear the music far and near
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as it's brown
Still we come to pick the berries
To decorate the town

The holly and the ivy
When they are full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly stands alone
The prettiest I've Known
To grace our lovely home
Our Lovely, loving home
