If i could sound like anything, i would wish it was the wind and sky - maybe a bit of waterfall and the breath of the forest ;) i sing and play guitar - some so

Jodee conjures the very essence of tradition whether of this century or those before us. Nobles, shepherds, lovers and dreamers, birds as messengers and inspiring heroes, all come to life in Jodee’s music - an unique and timeless musical journey.

Story behind the song

And the first tree that's in the greenwood it was the holly ~

Lyrics

Now the holly she bears berry as white as the milk
And Mary she bore Jesus all wrapped up in silk

CHORUS: 
And Mary she bore Jesus our saviour for to be
And the first tree that's in the greenwood it was the holly,
Holly, Holly,
And the first tree that's in the greenwood it was the holly.

Now the holly she bears berry as black as the coal
And Mary she bore Jesus who died for us all

Now the holly she bears berry as green as the grass
And Mary she bore Jesus who died on the cross

Now the holly she bears berry as blood it is red
And Mary she bore Jesus who rose from the dead
