The Wassail Song

[[audio/mpeg][MusicXML]

5. We have a little purse,It is made of rabbit skin,We want a little sixpenceTo line it well within.Chorus.Love and joy come to you,And to you your wassail too!And God bless you, and send you a happy New Year,And God send you a happy New Year!6. Call up the Butler of this housePut on his golden ring;Let him bring us a glass of beerAnd the better we shall sing.Love and joy, etc.7. Bring us out a tableAnd spread it with a cloth;Bring us out a mouldy cheese,And some of your Christmas loaf.Love and joy, etc.8. God bless the Master of this house,Likewise the Mistress too;And all the little childrenThat round the table go.Love and joy, etc.
