[Chorus] 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. 2. Our wassail cup is made Of the rosemary tree, And so is your beer Of the best barley. [Chorus] 3. We are not daily beggars That beg from door to door, But we are neighbours' children Whom you have seen before. [Chorus] 4. Good Master and good Mistress, As you sit by the fire, Pray think of us poor children Are wandering in the mire. [Chorus] 5. We have a little purse Made of ratching leather skin;1 We want some of your small change To line it well within. [Chorus] 6. Call up the Butler of this house, Put on his golden ring; Let him bring us a glass of beer, And the better we shall sing. [Chorus] 7. Bring us out a table, And spread it with a cloth; Bring us out a mouldy cheese, And some of your Christmas loaf. [Chorus] 8. God bless the Master of this house, Likewise the Mistress too; And all the little children That round the table go. [Chorus] 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 # |
