::''1.'' :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. ::''2.'' :We are not daily beggers :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. ::''3.'' :Good master and good mistress, :As you sit beside the fire, :Pray think of us poor children :Who wander in the mire. :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. ::''4.'' :We have a little purse :Made of ratching leather skin; :We want some of your small change :To line it well within. :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. ::''5.'' :Bring us out a table :And spread it with a cloth; :Bring us out a cheese, :And of your Christmas loaf. :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.'' :God bless the master of this house, :Likewise the mistress too; :And all the little children :That round the table go. :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.
