Somerset Wassail 2 Lyrics

1. Wassail! wassail! all around the town,
For the cup is white and the ale is brown.

[Refrain]
For it's our wassail, and 'tis your wassail,
And 'tis joy come to our jolly wassail!

2. The cup is made of ashen tree,
And the ale is made of the best barley, [Refrain]

3. The great dog of Langport burnt his tail
The night that we went singing wassail. [Refrain]

4. O maid, fair maid in holland smock,
Come ope the door and turn the lock, [Refrain]

5. O maid, fair maid, with golden tag,
Come ope the door and show a pretty leg. [Refrain]

6. O master, mistress, that sit by the fire,
Consider us poor travellers all in the mire. [Refrain]

7. Put out the ale and raw milk cheese,
And then you shall see happy we be's. [Refrain]
