lyrics

Here We Come A-wassailing
among the leaves so green.
Here we come a-wand'ring
so fair to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
and to you your wassail, too,
and good greetings and may you have a
a Happy New Year,
and may you have a Happy New Year.

We are not daily beggers
that beg from door to door,
but we are neighbours' children
whom you have seen before.
Love and joy come to you,
and to you your wassail, too,
and good greetings and may you have a
a Happy New Year,
and may you have a Happy New Year.

Good master and good mistress,
as you sit beside the fire,
please think of us poor children
who wander in the mire.
Love and joy come to you,
and to you your wassail, too,
and good greetings and may you have a
a Happy New Year,
and may you have a Happy New Year.


We have a little purse made of
ratching leather skin.
We want some of your small change
to line it well within.
Love and joy come to you,
and to you your wassail, too,
and good greetings and may you have a
a Happy New Year,
and may you have a Happy New Year.

Bring us out a table,
and spread it with a cloth.
Bring us out a cheese
and of your Christmas loaf.
Love and joy come to you,
and to you your wassail, too,
and good greetings and may you have a
a Happy New Year,
and may you have a Happy New Year.

We bless the master of this house.
Likewise the mistress too,
and all the little children
that round the table go.
Love and joy come to you,
and to you your wassail, too,
and good greetings and may you have a
a Happy New Year,
and may you have a Happy New Year.
