Oh the Holly, she bears a berry, as white as the milk.
And Mary she bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk.

Chorus:
And Mary she bore Jesus our Savior for to be.
And the first tree that's in the green wood, it was the Holly.
Holly. Holly.
And the first tree that's in the green wood, it was the Holly.

O the Holly, she bears a berry, as green as the grass.
And Mary she bore Jesus who died on the cross.

Chorus

O the Holly, she bears a berry, as blood it is red.
And we trust in our savior who rose from the dead.

Chorus
