Henry Roe McDermott / The Holly and the Berry Lyrics

h, the holly she bears a berry, as white as the milk
And Mary she bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk
And Mary she bore Jesus, our savior for to be
And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly
Holly, holly. And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly.

Oh, the holly she bears a berry, as green as the grass
And Mary she bore Jesus who died on the cross
And Mary she bore Jesus, our savior for to be
And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly
Holly, holly. And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly.

Oh, 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 savior for to be
And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly
Holly, holly. And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly.

Oh, the holly she bears a berry, as blood it is red
And Mary she bore Jesus who rose from the dead
And Mary she bore Jesus, our savior for to be
And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly
Holly, holly. And the first tree in the green wood it was the holly.
