when they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that tower in the wood,
the holly bears the crown.
and the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry or gan,
sweet singing in the choir.
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
and the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry or gan,
sweet singing in the choir.
The holly bears a prickle
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
On Christmas Day in the morn
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
And Mary bore sweet Je sus Christ,
Oh, the rising of the sun,
and the running of the deer
The play ing of the merry organ,
sweet singing in the choir
when they are both full grown,
Of all the trees that are in the wood,
the holly bears the crown.
and the running of the deer,
The playing of the merry or gan,
Sweet singing in the choir.
