about
A secular, spooky version of a traditional Xmas song.
lyrics
The holly and the ivy
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears a crown
O, rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flow'r
Like the moonlight sparkling snow
On a cold December
O, rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a berry
As red as any blood
And we're all together
So let's just all be good
O', rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a prickle
As sharp as any thorn
And we wake up with excitement
On Christmas day in the morn
O', rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
The holly bears a bark
As bitter as any gall
Like the wind that's raging
And sheltering us all
O', rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing in the choir
Sweet singing in the choir
