1. Wassail! wassail! all round the town, / For the cup is white and the ale is brown, / For it's our wassail, and 'tis your wassail, / And 'tis joy come to our jolly wassail!
2. The cup is made of the ashen tree, / And the ale is made of the best barley, / For it's our wassail, etc.
3. O maid, fair maid in holland smock, / Come ope the door and turn the lock, / For it's our wassail, etc.
4. O master, mistress, that sit by the fire, / Consider us poor travellers all in the mire, / For it's our wassail, etc.
5. Put out the ale and raw milk cheese, / And then you shall see how happy we be's, / For it's our wassail, etc.
