Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green,
Here we come a-wassailing
So fair as to be seen.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too you.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year,
A Happy New Year.
A Happy New Year.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year.

We are not daily beggars
Who beg from door to door,
But we are neighbours’ children
That you have seen before.
Love and joy come to you,
And to you your wassail, too you.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year,
A Happy New Year.
A Happy New Year.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year.

We got a little purse made,
From a leather skin;
Please give us some money,
To line it well within.
Love and joy come to you,
To  your wassail, too you.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year,
A Happy New Year.
A Happy New Year.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year.

God bless the master of this house,
Likewise the mistress too;
And all the little children
Who round the table grew.
Love and joy come to you,
To  your wassail, too you.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year,
A Happy New Year.
A Happy New Year.
Praise God and send you
A Happy New Year.
