1. Wassail! wassail! all round the town,
For the cup is white and the ale is brown,
For it’s our wassail, and ’tis your wassail,
And ’tis joy come to our jolly wassail!
2. The cup is made of the ashen tree,
And the ale is made of the best barley,
For it’s our wassail, etc.
3. O maid, fair maid in holland smock,
Come ope the door and turn the lock,
