Wassail and wassail all over the town
The cup it is white and the
ale it is brown
The cup it is made of the good ashen tree
And so is the malt of the best
barley
For its your wassail and its our wassail
And its joy be to you and a
jolly wassail
Oh master and missus, are you all within?
Pray open the door and let
us come in
O master and missus a-sitting by the fire
Pray think on us poor travelers, a
traveling in the mire
Oh where is the maid with the silver-headed pin
To open the
door and let us come in
Oh master and missus, it is our desire
A good loaf and cheese and
a toast by the fire
There was an old man and he had an old cow
And how for to keep her he
didn't know how
He built up a barn for to keep his cow warm
And a drop or two of cider
will do us no harm
The girt dog of Langport he burnt his long tail
And this is the
night we go singing wassail
O master and missus now we must be gone
God bless all in this
house until we do come again
