Wassail Carol by Kofi Young Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We've been a while a-wandering among the leaves so green
And here we come a-wassailing so fair to be seen
And we have got a little purse of stretching leather skin
We want a little of your money to line it well within
[Chorus]
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 bless you and send you a Happy
Send you a Happy New Year
[Verse 2]
Our wassail cup is made of the rosemary tree
And so is your beer of the best barley
Our wassail cup is made of thе rosemary bough
And so, my good neighbours, we'll drink unto you
[Chorus]
Lovе and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God bless you and send you a Happy
Send you a Happy New Year
[Verse 3]
Call up the butler of this house, put on their golden ring
Let 'em bring us up a mug of beer, and better we shall sing
And where you have one barrel now, we hope that you'll have ten
Next year so that we may have beer when we return again
[Chorus]
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 bless you and send you a Happy
Send you a Happy New Year
[Verse 4]
We know by the moon we are not too soon
And we know by the sky we are not too high
We know by the stars we are not too far
And we know by the ground we are within sound
[Verse 5]
Good noble folk and gentry, while you're sitting by the fire
Pray think of us poor wassailers who wander in the mire
And if we all should live until another New Year
Perhaps we may call and visit you who live here
[Chorus]
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 bless you and send you a Happy
Send you a Happy New Year
We've been a while a-wandering among the leaves so green
And here we come a-wassailing so fair to be seen
And we have got a little purse of stretching leather skin
We want a little of your money to line it well within
[Chorus]
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 bless you and send you a Happy
Send you a Happy New Year
[Verse 2]
Our wassail cup is made of the rosemary tree
And so is your beer of the best barley
Our wassail cup is made of thе rosemary bough
And so, my good neighbours, we'll drink unto you
[Chorus]
Lovе and joy come to you, and to you your wassail too
And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God bless you and send you a Happy
Send you a Happy New Year

And God bless you and send you a Happy New Year
And God bless you and send you a Happy
