Thread Name: Lyr Req: A Soalin' (Peter, Paul & Mary)
Subject: RE: Hey, ho, know this song? - 'A-Soalin'
PS - I have the chords and lyrics to the version I play when busking if you want them - feel free to 'PM' me and I can post them.

The final verse:

Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace..
This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace,
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

Is sung as per all the others except that the last line:

"Oh tidings of comfort and joy."

Is sung:
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

And is sung in the manner of winding the song up as per one of the traditional Christmas Carols - "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", which finishes with the same phrasing.
