Thread Name: Wassail/pace egg song
Subject: Wassail/pace egg song
Before I ever learnt the Pace Egg song, I heard a wassail song with the chorus
We're one two three jolly boys all in one line We have come a wassailing and we hope you prove kind And we hope you prove kind, with your cakes and strong beer And we'll come no more nigh you until the next year.
I've never heard or seen it since. Is it authentic, or did I witness someone adapting an existing song for a christmas folk club?
