| Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green;
|
| Here we come a-wandering, so fair to be seen.
|
| Love and joy come to you, and to you our wassail, too.
|
| And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
|
| And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
|
| We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door;
|
| But we are neighbours' children whom you have seen before. |
| Refrain
|
| We have a little purse made of ratching leather skin;
|
| We want a little sixpence to line it well within. |
| Refrain
|
| God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress, too;
|
| And all the little children that round the table go. |
| Refrain |
