[xmas-Dream]

Now Christmas is comen
And New Year begin
Pray open your doors
And let us come in.
Chorus:
With our wassail, wassail,
Wassail, wassail,
And joy come with our jolly wassail.
2. O Master and Mistress
Sitting down by the fire
While we poor wassail boys
Are traveling the mire.
Chorus:

3. This ancient house
We will kindly salute
It is an old custom
You need not dispute.
Chorus:

4. We are here in this place,
Orderly we stand
We're the jolly wassail boys
With a bowl in our hands.
Chorus:
5. We hope that your apple trees
Will prosper and bear
And bring forth good cider
When we come next year.
Chorus:
6. We hope that your barley
Will prosper and grow
That you may have plenty
And some to bestow.
Chorus:

7. Good Mistress and Master
How can you forbear
Come fill up out bowl
With cider or beer.
Chorus:

8. Good Mistress and Master
Sitting down at your ease
Put your hands in your pockets
And give what you please.
Chorus:

9. I wish you a blessing
And a long time to live
Since you've been so free
And willing to give.
Chorus:
