Here We Come A-Wassailing

Here we come a-wassailing Among the leaves so green Here we come a-wand'rin So fair to be seen.

CHORUS Love and joy come to you, And to you your wassail too; And God bless you and send you A Happy New Year And God send you a Happy New Year

Our wassail cup is made Of the rosemary tree, And so is our beer Of the best barley:

CHORUS

We are not daily begga That beg from door to door But we are neighbours' children, Whom you have seen before.

CHORUS

Good master and good mistress, While you're sitting by the fire Pray think of us poor children Who wander in the mire.

CHORUS

God bless the master of this house Likewise the mistress too! And all the little children That 'round the table go.

CHORUS
