The Wassail Song Fairport Convention

Here we come a-wassailing
Among the leaves so green
Here we come a-wand'ring
So fair to be seen

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

We are not daily beggars
That beg from door to door
But we are neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before

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

Good master and good mistrеss
As you sit beside the firе
Pray think of us poor children
Who wander in the mire
