Song 1 - Here We Come A-wassailing

1 Oh 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 you your wassail, too,
And God bless you, and send you
A happy new year,
And God send you a happy new year.

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

Chorus: Love and joy come to you … 

3 Good Master and good Mistress,
As you sit by the fire,
Pray think of us poor children
Who wander in the mire. 

Chorus: Love and joy come to you …

4 God bless the Master of this house,
Likewise the Mistress, too;
And all the little children,
That round the table go

Chorus: Love and joy come to you …

Song 2 - Newdigate Wassail 

1 A wassail, a wassail,
a wassail we’ll begin
With sugar plums and cinnamon
and other spices in 

Chorus:
With a wassail, a wassail,
a jolly wassail
And may joy come to you,
and to our wassail 

2 Good master and good mistress
as you sit by the fire
Consider us poor wassailers
who travel through the mire 

Chorus: With a wassail, a wassail …

3 We’ll cut a toast around the loaf
and set it by the fire
We’ll wassail bees and apple trees
unto your hearts desire 

Chorus: With a wassail, a wassail …

4 Hang out your silver tankard
upon your golden spear
We’ll come no more a wassailing
until another year

Chorus: With a wassail, a wassail …

Song 3 - Gloucestershire Wassail (Wassail! Wassail! All Over the Town) 

[We use verse 1 as a chorus between verses]

1/Chorus: Wassail! Wassail! All over the town,
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown;
Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree;
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee.

2 Here's to our horse, and to his right ear,
God send our master a Happy New Year
A happy new year as e'er he did see,
With my wassailing bowl I drink to thee.

Chorus: Wassail! wassail! all over the town …

3 Come butler, come fill us a bowl of the best
Then we hope that your soul in heaven may rest
But if you do draw us a bowl of the small
Then down shall go butler, bowl and all.

Chorus: Wassail! wassail! all over the town …
