Now the [G]holly she [D]bears a b[G]erry as g[C]reen as t[D]he g[G]rass,
And [G]Mary she [D]bore [G]Jesus, who [C]died on [D]the [G]cross:
And [G]Mary she [C]bore [G]Jesus our Saviour f[C]or [G]to be,

[D]Holly, [D]holl[G]y,
And the [G]first tree that's [D]in the g[G]reenwood, it [Am]was the [D]hol[G]ly.

This carol was so named because the melody and the first 3 verses were first transcribed in the 19th century
from the singing of a villager in St. Day (also Sans Day, or St. They - named after a Breton saint venerated
in Cornwall) in the parish of Gwennap, Cornwall. A 4 stanza version in Cornish was subsequently published
('Ma gron war'n gelinen').Pastor Peter Prange also pointed out that the village of St. Day in Cornwall is
named after the saint.
