The Christmas Welcome. (Air, "Tramp, Tramp, Tramp." Pat's Pick, page 42; Song Budget, page 32.) 2 Flats. When the summer time is passed and the harvest housed at last, And the woods are standing bare and brown and sere, When the frost is sharp at night, and the days are short and bright, Comes the gladdest, merriest time of all the year. Chorus— Shout, boys, shout the hearty welcome ! Greet old Christmas with a roar 1 He has met us with good cheer for this many a merry year, And we hope he'll meet us all for many more.
