It was written here that the Watersons did this one but I don't find it in their discography. I am looking for the tune for this one. Many thanks Conrad APPLE-TREE WASSAIL Lily-white, lily-white, lily-white pin, Please to come down and let us come in. Lily-white, lily-white, lily-white smock, Please to come down and pull back the lock. For it's our wassail, jolly wassail; Joy come to our jolly wassail. How well they may bloom, how well they may bear, That we may have apples and cider next year. Master and mistress, oh, are you within? Please to come down and let us come in. For it's our wassail, jolly wassail; Joy come to our jolly wassail. How well they may bloom, how well they may bear, That we may have apples and cider next year. There was an old farmer that had but one cow, And how to milk her, he didn't know how. He put his old cow all in his old barn, And a little more liquor won't do us no harm. Harm, me boys, harm; Harm, me boys, harm; A little more liquor won't do us no harm. Lily-white, lily-white, lily-white pin, Please to come down and let us come in. Lily-white, lily-white, lily-white smock, Please to come down and pull back the lock. For it's our wassail, jolly wassail; Joy come to our jolly wassail. How well they may bloom, how well they may bear, That we may have apples and cider next year. For it's our wassail, jolly wassail; Joy come to our jolly wassail. -The Watersons?
