The CORNISH WASSAIL In the DT Is largely correct except:

That which is given as second verse is actually the chorus and should be marked as such. Two verses further on are run together.

Please correct! Also The Reference source for this or at least one is:

Kennedy, Peter, Folksongs of Britain and Ireland,Oak,1975,#87 Can Wassel,pp214-231.

Originally Kennedy seems to have received the "live" performance from The Truro Wassail Bowl Singers, rec. P. Kennedy Malpas 1957, BBC 25653.

I provide an ABC which is close to the version given by Kennedy:

X:0
T:Can Wassel
M:3/4
L:1/8
C:Traditional
S:Adapted slightly from: Peter Kennedy #87 a.k.a. Wassail Song
K:D
A2|F2D2F2|AA3A2|BB B2d2|A4|A2|B2B2d2|A F3A2|G

This is converted into a midi which can be found via link from:

Enjoy!

This is however Not the Malpas wassail but my question is : Is it A.k.A. the "Truro Wassail" Onward I go....
