The Wassailing Song

Provided by "Jason-Guy" <jgt@erinet.com>.


Group:

   A                 D        A
Wassail, wassail all over the town

    D                         A         E
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown

    A          E           A           D
Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree

         A          D           E        A
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee


Damon:

   A                     D            A
So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek

     D                     A             E
Pray God send our master a good piece of beef

      A             E         A          D
And a good piece of beef that may we all see

         A          D           E        A
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee


Group:

    A                     D            A
And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye

     D                     A              E
Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie

  A              E        A          D
A good Christmas pie that may we all see

         A          D           E        A
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee


Graham:

   A                         D            A
So here is to Broad Mary and to her broad horn

    D                     A            E
May God send our master a good crop of corn

      A            E         A          D
And a good crop of corn that may we all see

         A          D           E        A
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee


Group:

    A                       D           A
And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear

     D                     A         E
Pray God send our master a happy New Year

      A         E       A           D
And a happy New Year as e'er he did see

         A          D           E        A
With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee


Dave:

    A                    D           A
And here is to Colly and to her long tail

     D                      A         E
Pray God send our master he never may fail

  A              E       A             D
A bowl of strong beer! I pray you draw near

        A        D         E              A
And our jolly wassail it's then you shall hear


Group:

     A                      D           A
Come butler, come fill us a bowl of the best
 
     D                         A          E
Then we hope that your soul in heaven may rest

    A         E         A           D
But if you do draw us a bowl of the small

     A             D       E        A
Then down shall go butler, bowl and all


Alex:

     A                         D          A
Then here's to the maid in the lily white smock

    D                       A                E
Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock

    A              E        A               D
Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin

       A         D     E          A
For to let these jolly wassailers in.
