Here we come a-wassailing among the leaves so green;

Here we come a-wandering, so fair to be seen.

Love and joy come to you, and to you our wassail, too.

And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year

And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year





We are not daily beggars that beg from door to door;

But we are neighbours' children whom you have seen before. Refrain





We have a little purse made of ratching leather skin;

We want a little sixpence to line it well within. Refrain





God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress, too;

And all the little children that round the table go. Refrain
