Here We Come A Wassailing

Here we come a-wassailing,
Among the leaves so green.
Here we come a-wandering,
So fair to be seen.

Chorus:
     Love and joy come to you,
     And to 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 your beer,
Of the best barley.

We are not daily beggars,
That beg from door to door.
We are your neighbor's children,
Whom you have seen before.

Call up the butler of this house;
Put on his golden ring.
Let him bring us up a glass,
And better shall we sing.

Bring us out a table,
And spread it with a cloth;
Bring us out a moldy cheese,
And some of your Christmas loaf.

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