Gibson Bull and Carmen - The Holly and the Ivy lyrics

rate me

The holly and the ivy,

They are both full grown

Of all the trees down in the wood

The holly bears the crown

High bears a prickle

Sharp as any thorn

That have blessings white

As any other flower ever grown

[Chorus]

And the rising of the sun

And the running of the deer

In the ...winter

We’ll be singing here

In the big ... winter

Frosty in the snow

Earth is stand a hard desire

Water like a stone

The holly bears a berry

As red as any blood

Yeah the bears are green asleep

...in the woods

[Chorus] x 2

And the rising of the sun

The running of the deer

In the ...winter

We’ll be singing here

The holly and the ivy,

They are both full grown

Of all the trees down in the wood

The holly bears the crown.
