“The Holly & the Ivy”
Ancient Christmas song; this version published by Cecil Sharp.
– sung by The Mediaeval Babes.
“The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown.
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir“
