[Verse 1]
My [Bbm]father, he left me [Am]his acre of land
[Bbm]Sing ivy, sing holly,[Am] go whistl[Bbm]ing ivy[Am]
[Bbm]Sing holly, go whistling ivy
[Am]He p[Bbm]loughed it with a ram's horn
[Am]Sing ivy, sing holly, go whistling [Bbm]ivy
He [Am]sowed it with [Em]a peppercorn
[Am]Sing, holly, go, w[Bbm]histle in iv[Bbsus4]y[Bbm]
[Am]He reaped it with the blade
of his bad [Em]knife
[Am]Sing, ivy, sing, holly, go, whistle [Em]in ivy
[Am]He threshed it o[Em]ut with
a goose's quail
[Am]Sing, Ollie, go whistle in [Bbm]ivy
[Am]He's sent it to market,
[Bbm]don't al low[Am] us his back
Sing, Ollie, [Bbm]go whistle in [Am]ivy
The whip it [Em]cracked,
but the wagon is [Am]stopped
Sing, [C]Ollie, go whistle [G]in [Am]ivy
[Bbm]He sent it to [Am]the mi[Bbm]ll with a[Bbsus4]
team [Am]of great rats
Sing ivy, sing holly, go whistle in [Bbm]ivy
He sent it [Am]home [Em]in a walnut [Am]shell
Sing [Bbm]holly, go whistle in ivy
My father, worked himself
[Am]into the ground
Sing [Bbm]ivy, s[Am]ing holly,
go whistle [Em]in iv[Am]y
I weep as I sow,
I [F]plough this old [Am]land[Am]
[C]Sing, holly, go with southern [Bbm]ivy
