Mistletoe and Holly
by Thomas A. Daly
THE mistletoe is gemmed with pearls,
Bed berries hath the holly.
Remember, all ye modest girls,
The mistletoe is gemmed with pearls,
And when it hangs above your curls,
Away with melancholy!
The mistletoe is gemmed with pearls,
Eed berries hath the holly.
Since mistletoe is hard to find,
We do not need it, Mollie,
O do, I beg of you, be kind, -
Since mistletoe is hard to find,
Pretend that you are color-blind,
And kiss beneath this holly.
Since mistletoe is hard to find,
We do not need it, Mollie.
Bed berries hath the holly.
Remember, all ye modest girls,
The mistletoe is gemmed with pearls,
And when it hangs above your curls,
Away with melancholy!
The mistletoe is gemmed with pearls,
Eed berries hath the holly.
Since mistletoe is hard to find,
We do not need it, Mollie,
O do, I beg of you, be kind, -
Since mistletoe is hard to find,
Pretend that you are color-blind,
And kiss beneath this holly.
Since mistletoe is hard to find,
We do not need it, Mollie.
