O the holly she bears a berry, as white as the milk
And Marry, she bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk
Chorus:
And Marry she bore Jesus,our savior for to be
And the first tree that's in the greenwood
It was the holly.
O the holly she bears a berry, as green as the grass
And Marry, she bore Jesus who died on the cross
Chorus
O the holly she bears a berry, as blood it is red
We trust in our savior who rose from the dead
Chorus
