The Holly, the Ivy & the Oak

Oh the holly bears a berry as red as this wine
And Robin's our leader in strife and good times
Oh Robin's our leader, as bold as could be
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the holly. Hol-ly, hol-ly!
And the first tree in the greenwood
It was the Holly.
Oh the ivy bears a green leaf the whole winter long
And Marian's our May Queen, so we'll sing her this song
Oh Marian's our May Queen, as fair as could be
And the first vine in the greenwood
It was the Ivy. Iv-y, iv-y!
And the first vine in the greenwood
It was the Ivy
Oh the Oak tree bears an acorn, so small, brown and hard
And Little John will watch us and stand as our guard
Oh Little John's our right hand, as strong as could be
And the best tree in the greenwood
It was the oak tree. Oak-tree, oak-tree!
And the best tree in the greenwood
It was the Oak tree.
