about

All words loosely based and adapted from the 16th century Gloucestershire Wassail hymn.

lyrics

So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek
Pray God send our master a good piece of beef
And a good piece of beef that we all may see
With a wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

Wassail all over this town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Wassail by the old apple tree
With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

So here’s to Broad Mary and to her broad horn
May God send our master a good crop of corn
And a good crop of corn that we all may see
With a wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

Wassail all over this town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Wassail by the old apple tree
With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

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 wassailers in

Wassail all over this town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Wassail by the old apple tree
With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee

Wassail wassail
Wassail wassail
Wassail wassail
Wassail wassail

Wassail all over this town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Wassail by the old apple tree
With the wassailing bowl we’ll drink to thee
