Lyrics from "As You Like It"

lyrics

Heigh Ho, the Holly
words by W. Shakespeare
music by John Allee

Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind as man’s ingratitude
Thy tooth is not so keen
Because thou art not seen
Although thy breath be rude

Heigh-ho, sing, heigh-ho
Unto the green, green holly
Most friendship is feigning
Most loving mere folly
Then, heigh-ho, the holly
This life is most jolly

Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky
That dost not bite so nigh as benefits forgot
Though thou the waters warp
Thy sting is not so sharp
As friend remembered not

Heigh-ho, sing, heigh-ho
Unto the green, green holly
Most friendship is feigning
Most loving mere folly
Then, heigh-ho, the holly
This life is most jolly
