Somerset Gloucestershire Wassail - The Kingston Trio
Wassail wassail all over the town the cup
It is white and the ale it is brown
The cup it is made of the good ashen tree
And so is the malt of the finest barley
Oh master and missus are you all within
Pray open the door and let us come in
Oh master and missus who sit by the fire pray
Think of the trav'lers who walk through the mire
Oh where is the maid with the silver hair pin to open the door and
Let us come in
Oh master and missus it is our desire
A good loaf and cheese and a toast by the fire
There was an old man and he had an old cow
And how for to keep her he didn't know how
He built up a barn for to keep his cow warm
And a drop of good cider will do us no harm
The good dog of langport
He burnt his long tail and this is the night we go singing wassail
Oh master and missus
Now we must be gone bless all in this house until we come again
Bless all in this house 'till we come again
