A wassail, a wassail throughout our town Our cup it is white and our ale it is brown Our wassail is made of the good ale and true Some nutmeg and ginger it's the best we can brew [Refrain] Fol the dol fol the dol di dol Fol the dol di dol fol the dol di dee Fol the dairo fol the dardy Sing toorilido 2. Our wassail is made of the elderberry bough And so my good neighbours we'll drink unto thou Besides all honour you'll have apples in store Pray let us come in for it's cold by the door. [Refrain] 3. We hope that your apple trees prosper and bear, So that we may have cider when we call next year; And where you've one barrel I hope you have ten, So that we can have cider when we call again. [Refrain] 4. There's a master and a mistress sitting down by the fire While we poor wassail boys do wait in the mire And so pretty maid with your silver-headed pin Please open the door and let us come in. [Refrain] 5. We know by the moon that we are not too soon And we know by the sky that we are not too high We know by the stars that we are not too far And we know by the ground that we are in sound. [Refrain] 6. There's our wassail boys growing weary and cold Drop a bit of small silver into our old bowl And if we're alive for another new year Perhaps we may call and see who do live here.
