How To Play Deck the Halls - an Ancient Yuletide Carol
Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly Tra la la la la la la la laaaa! This page tells you how to play Deck the Halls with Boughs of Holly a carol that harks back to pre-Christian customs and is more properly a celebration of Yule than Christmas. However, the early Church adopted many feasts and festivals to keep the people happy, as had the Romans before them.The more feasts, the merrier say I! A Christmas without Deck the Halls would not be half as jolly though, so whether Yuletide Carol, or Xmas, here are the words and music you need to be a player rather than a listener!

Words of Deck the Hall
This is one of my favorite carols, traditional Welsh in origin, it harks back to Pagan times, is almost in madrigal form and is about is jolly as Christmas carols can be! Come sing along with me!
Deck the halls
Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Fast away the old year passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
