Now the holly bears a berry as white as the milk, And Mary bore Jesus, who was wrapped up in silk: And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Holly, holly, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Now the holly bears a berry as green as the grass, And Mary bore Jesus, who died on the cross: And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Holly, holly, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Now the holly bears a berry as black as the coal, And Mary bore Jesus, who died for us all: And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Holly, holly, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Now the holly bears a berry, as blood it is red, Then trust we our Saviour, who rose from the dead: And Mary bore Jesus our Saviour to be, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly. Holly, holly, And the first tree in the greenwood, it was the holly.
