W:
W: With pipe and with fiddle, with drum and with bell,
W: we sing our wassail, me boys, to wish you all well.
W: Long life and good fortune to all who live here!
W: God bless you and send you a happy New Year.
W:
W: Through weeds and through snow we have come to your door.
W: A small drop of porter is all we implore.
W: And then we will sing with all proper decorum;
W: The yeast and the barley drive sorrows before 'em.
W:
W: Some nutmeg and ginger to make us all merry,
W: Or whiskey or brandy or cider or sherry.
W: Strong drink and its virtues our songs will extol,
W: So bring us a bottle (barrel, tank truck) and fill up our bowl.
W:
W: Come join in our Wassail and raise up your voice,
W: For now is the season to sing and rejoice,
W: And number your blessings, the great and the small;
W: Good friends and companions the greatest of all.
