All you that are good fellows, Come hearken to my song; I know you do not hate good cheer, Nor liquor that is strong. I hope there is none here But soon will take my part, Seeing my master and my dame Say welcome with their heart. 2. This is a time of joyfulness And merry time of year, When as the rich with plenty stor'd Do make the poor good cheer. Plum porridge, roast beer, and mince pies Stand smoking on the board, With other brave varieties Our master doth afford. 3. Our mistress and her cleanly maids Have neatly play'd the cooks; Methinks these dishes eagerly At my sharp stomach looks, As though they were afraid To see me draw my blade; But I reveng'd on them will be Until my stomach's stay'd. 4. Come fill us of the strongest, Small drink is out of date; Methinks I shall fare like a prince And sit in gallant state. This is no miser's feast, Although that things be deer; God grant the founder of this feast Each Christmas keep good cheer. 5. This day for Christ we celebrate, Who was born at this time; For which all Christians should rejoice And I do sing in rhyme. When you have given thanks Unto your dainties fall; Heav'n bless my master and my dame, Lord bless me and you all. Browse Carols: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z # |
