A Christmas Wassail(1)
Here we coom a-wessellin(2) Among the leaves so green, An' here we coom a-wanderin' So fair as to be seen.
Chorus- An' to your' wessel An' to jolly wessel, Love an' joy be to you An' to your wessel-tree.
The wessel-bob(3) is made O' rosemary tree, An' so is your beer O' the best barley. An' to your wessel, etc.
Weare not beggars' childeren That begs from door to door, But we are neighbours' childeren That has been here before. An' to your wessel, etc.
We have got a little purse Made i' ratchin(4) leather skin, An' we want a little money To line it well within. An' to your wessel, etc.
Bring us out your table An' spread it wi' a cloth; Bring us out your mouldy cheese Likewise your Christmas loaf. An' to your wessel, etc.
God bless the master o' this house, Likewise the mistress too; An' all the little childeren That round the table go. An' to your wessel, etc.
Good master an' good' misteress, While you're sittin' by the fire Pray, think of us poor childeren That's wanderin' i' the mire. An' to your wessel, etc.
