MMario, what is the source of the "1881" version you posted 07 Dec 04? The one in "The Franklin Square Song Collection" for 1881 is the one posted by Masato 22 Dec 04 (titled "Deck the Hall With Holly"). This was long before prohibition.

Also with reference to a post by Haruo long ago regarding the fa la las, in the 'Franklin Square' book they are all grouped the same; five (Fa la la la la) together before :, then the remaining four.
