[VERSE]
The mistletoe bough in the [Bb]olden time
Was [C]honoured in many a [Am]sacred rhyme
By [Dm]bards and by singers of [C]high de[G]gree
When [Bb]cut from its [C]place on the [Am]old oak [Dm]tree
By [F]white-robed [C]Druid [Dm]with golden [C]knife
For they [Dm]thought it a [C]magical [Bb]Tree of [Am]Life
And [Dm]many a promise and [C]holy [G]vow
They were [Bb]solemnly [C]sworn on the [Am]mistletoe [Dm]bough

[VERSE]
The mistletoe bough in the [Bb]Norseman's lay
Told [C]ever of horrors, and [Am]love's dismay
When the [Dm]old blind god, by a [C]sportive [G]blow
Laid [Bb]Balder, the [C]beautiful [Am]sun god, [Dm]low
Thence[F]forth it [C]was deemed an [Dm]accursed [C]thing
But [Dm]love out of [C]sorrow could [Bb]victory [Am]bring
And the [Dm]tears of Freja are [C]shining [G]now
Like the [Bb]orient, [C]pearls on the [Am]mistletoe [Dm]bough

[VERSE]
The mistletoe bough on the [Bb]festive throng
Looks [C]down amid echoes of [Am]mirthful song
Where [Dm]hearts they make music, as [C]old friends [G]meet
Whose [Bb]pulse keeps the [C]time to the [Am]dancer's [Dm]feet
And [F]eyes they are [C]brighter [Dm]with looks of [C]love
Than [Dm]gems out[C]shining the [Bb]lamps up a[Am]bove
And [Dm]who is she that [C]will not al[G]low
A [Bb]kiss that's claimed [C]under the [Am]mistletoe [Dm]bough?

[VERSE]
N.C.
From the regions of the east
N.C.
There came a strong and handsome beast
N.C.
Slow indeed his paces are
N.C.
None with donkey can compare
N.C.
For the load that he will bear
N.C.
Hail, Sir Donkey, hail
