A Wassail throughout all this Town

1. A wassail, a wassail throughout all this town
   Our cup it is white and our ale it is brown
   Our wassail is made of good ale and true
   Some nutmeg and ginger the best we could brew
   Fol the dol fol the dol di dol
   fol the dol di dol fol the dol di dee
   fol the dairo fol the dardy
   sing toorili do
2. Our wassail is made of an elderberry bough
   And so my good neighbour we'll drink unto thou
   Besides all honour you'll have apples to store
   Pray let us come in for it's cold by the door.
3. We hope that your apple trees prosper and bear,
   So we may have cider when we call next year;
   And where you've one barrel I hope you’ll have ten,
   So we can have cider when we call again.
4. There's master and mistress sitting down by the fire
   While we poor wassailers do wait in the mire
   So you pretty maid with your silver-headed pin
   Please open the door and let us come in.
5. We know by the moon that we are not too soon
   We know by the sky that we are not too high
   We know by the stars that we are not too far
   And we know by the ground that we are within sound.
6. There's we jolly wassail boys growing weary and cold
   Drop a bit of small silver into our old bowl
   And if we're alive for another new year
   Perhaps we may call and see who do live here.
