We've been a-while a-wandering
Amongst the leaves so green
But now we come a wassailing
So plainly to be seen

For it's Christmas time when we travel far and near
May God bless you and send you a happy New Year

We are not daily beggars
That beg from door to door
We are your neighbors children
For we've been here before

For it's Christmas time when we travel far and near
May God bless you and send you a happy New Year

Good master and good mistress
While you're sitting by the fire
Pray think of us poor children
That's wandered in the mire

For it's Christmas time when we travel far and near
May God bless you and send you a happy New Year

Bring us out a table
and spread it with a cloth
bring us out a moldy cheese
and some of your Christmas loaf

For it's Christmas time when we travel far and near
May God bless you and send you a happy New Year

Call up the butler of this house
likewise the mistress too
and all the little children
that round the table go

For it's Christmas time when we travel far and near
May God bless you and send you a happy New Year
