Zummerzet Wassail

from Carols for Solstice by The Silver Twiglets

lyrics

Wassail, and wassail, all over the town! The cup it is white, and the ale it is brown; the cup it is made of the good ashen tree, and so is the malt of the best barley: Chorus: For it's your wassail, and it's our wassail! And its joy be to you and a jolly wassail! O master and miss's, are you all within? Pray open the door and let us come in: O master and miss's, a sitting by the fire, Pray think upon poor trav'llers, a trav'lling in the mire: O where is the maid with the silver-headed pin, To open the door and let us come in? O master and missus, it is our desire A good loaf and cheese, and a toast by the fire: There was an old man and he had an old cow, And how for to keep her he didn't know how, He built up a barn for to keep his cow warm, And a drop or two of cider will do us no harm. No harm boys/girls, harm: No harm boys/girls, harm and a drop or two of cider will do us no harm! The girt dog of Langport he bunt his long tail, And this is the night we go singing wassail; O master and missus, now we must be gone; So bless all in this house 'til we do come again:
