The broadside c. 1715 has not been re-found.
Two printings are in the Bodleian Collection, Douce adds 137(25) and Douce adds 137(63), resp. dated c. 1817-1827 and c. 1812-1830. The lyrics are the same as those in Bramley & Steiner, 1871, where a musical score is given (scans, "Hymns and Carols of Christmas," as noted by Artful Codger).

The version in these printings includes a verse 5, missing in the DT (following 'prickle'), and verse 1 line 2 follows Sharp ("Now both are full well grown," in the broadsides).

The Holly bears a bark,
As bitter as any gall;
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ,
For to redeem us all.
