Lyrics:

O lily-white lily, O lily-white pin
Please to come down and let us come in
Lily-white lily, O lily-white smock
Please to come down and pull back the lock

Chorus:
For it’s our wassail, and a jolly wassail!
Joy come to our jolly wassail!
How well they may bloom, how well they may bear
So we may have apples and cider next year

O master and mistress, O are you within?
Please to come down and pull back the pin
O master and mistress, it is our desire
A good loaf and cheese, and a toast by the fire

Chorus

There was an old farmer and he had an old cow
But how to milk her he didn’t know how
He put his old cow down in his old barn
And a little more liquor won’t do us no harm
Harm my boys harm, harm my boys harm
A little more liquor won’t do us no harm

Chorus

For the ringles and the jingles and the tenor of the song goes — merrily
The ringles and the jingles and the tenor of the song goes — merrily
Merrily, merrily
The tenor of the song goes merrily

Spoken:
Hatfuls, capfuls, three-bushel bagfuls,
Little heaps under the stairs.
Hip hip hip, hooray!
