'O Christmas Tree'

"O Christmas Tree" is a wildly popular holiday song. In fact, the song is so popular that there are many different versions, each of which is based on a traditional German folk song. That song, "O Tannenbaum," is centuries old and has nothing to do with Christmas.

"O Christmas Tree"

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging

Not only green when summer's here

But also when it's cold and drear

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Thy leaves are so unchanging

O Christmas tree, o Christmas tree

Such pleasure do you...
