Gloucestershire Wassail |
| 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 |
| So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek |
| Pray God send out master a good piece of beef |
| And a good piece of beef that we all may see |
| With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee |
| And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye |
| Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie |
| And a good Christmas pie that we may all see |
| With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee |
| So here is to Broad May and to her broad horn |
| May God send our master a good crop of corn |
| And a good crop of corn that we may all see |
| With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee |
| And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear |
| Pray God send our master a happy new year |
| And a happy new year as e’er he did see |
| With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee |
| And here is to Colly and to her long tail |
| Pray God send our master, he never may fail |
| A bowl of strong beer, I pray you draw near |
| And our jolly wassail, it’s then you shall hear |
| Then here’s to the maid in the lily white smock |
| Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock |
| Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin |
| For to let these jolly wassailer’s in |
| 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 |
| Drink to thee, drink to thee |
| With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee |
