The Greensleeves Carol

from Live on Midwinter's Day by The Silver Twiglets

/

lyrics

The old year now away has fled
the New Year it has enteréd
Let us now our fears downtread
And joyfully all appear - o
Let's merry be this day
and let us now both dance and play
Kiss, love, cast cares away
to welcome in the New Year

The first day of the year we keep
And we shall never wail or weep
We will good fortune reap
And live with merry cheer - o
Houses now are crowned with thorn
With berry and with ivy - corn
We'll uphold the Wassail horn
To welcome in the New Year

And now with New Year gifts,
each friend His letter doth the other send
We will our comfort lend
And spare not of our gear - o
Like a snake cast off your skin
And to fresh fellow feelings win
Living so you shall begin
To welcome in the New Year
