Here We Come A-Wassailing
Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wand’ring so fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you a Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door,
But we are neighbors' children whom you have seen before
Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you a Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
Good master and good mistress, as you sit beside the fire,
Pray think of us poor children who wander in the mire.
Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you a Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
Bring us out a table and spread it with a cloth;
Bring us out a mouldy cheese, and some of your Christmas loaf.
Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you a Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress too;
And all the little children that round the table go.
Love and joy come to you, and to you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you a Happy New Year,
And God send you a Happy New Year.
