The Wassail Song

Here we come a wassailin' amongst the leaves so green.
Here we come a wanderin' far to be seen.
For it is a Christmas time and we wander far and near.
And we wish you merry Christmas and Happy New Year
And a year aned a year
For we wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

God bless the master of this house the mistress also
And all the little children that round the table go
For it is a Christmas time etc

Good master and good mistress as you sit in by your fire
Think on us poor children who wander through the mire
For it is etc

We have a little purse of the stretching leather skin
But we haven't any pennies that we could put in
For it is etc

Christmas it is coming the goose is getting fat
Please put a penny in the old man's hat
For it is etc

If you haven't got a penny a halfpenny will do
If you haven't got a halfpenny God bless you
For it is etc

Your cheese it is all white and your cake it is all brown
Pray give us all a little to help us through the town
For it is etc
