Genre: pop | Year: 1862

Deck the Hall / Deck the HallsOriginal - 1862

[Verse 1]
Deck the hall with boughs of holly
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
'Tis the season to be jolly
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Fill the meadcup, drain the barrel
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Troul the ancient Christmas carol
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!

[Verse 2]
See the flowing bowl before us
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Strike the harp and join the chorus
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Follow me in merry measure
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
While I sing of beauty's treasure
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
[Verse 3]
Fast away the old year passes
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Hail the new, ye lads and lasses!
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Laughing, quaffing all together
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
Heedless of the wind and weather
Fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la!
