Oh, the holly she bears a berry
As blood it is red
And Mary she bore Jesus
Who died in our stead
And Mary she bore Jesus
Our Savior 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 white as the milk
And Mary she bore Jesus
Who's wrapped up in silk
And Mary she bore Jesus
Our Savior for to be
And the first tree that's in the greenwood
It was the holly
