The holly she bears a berry as white as the milk
And Mary she bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk,
And Mary she bore Jesus Our Saviour for to be,
And the first tree that's in the greenwood it was the holly.
Holly, holly, and the first tree that's in the greenwood it was the holly.
Oh the holly she bears a berry as green as the grass,
And Mary she bore Jesus who died on the cross.
Oh the holly she bears a berry as black as coal,
And Mary she bore Jesus who died for us all.
Oh the holly she bears a berry as blood it is red,
And we trust in Our Saviour who rose from the dead.
