[Music: PART I.]
1. Here we come a-wassailing / Among the leaves so green; / Here we come a-wand'ring, / So plainly 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. Our wassail cup is made / Of the rosemary tree, / And so is your beer / Of the best barley. / Love and joy, etc.
3. We are not daily beggars / That beg from door to door, / But we are neighbours' children / Whom you have seen before. / Love and joy, etc.
4. Good master and good mistress, / As you sit by the fire / Pray think of us poor children / A-wandering in the mire. / Love and joy, etc.
