Lyrics Jacobstowe Wassail - Waterson:Carthy , Eliza Carthy

Wassail, wassail

Good master and mistress sitting down by the fire
While we poor wasailers we dabble in the mire
With our jolly wassail
Oh little robin redbreast, he has a fine wing
Give us of your cider and we'll begin to sing
With our jolly wassail

Wassail, wassail

Good master and mistress, our wassail begin
Please open your door and let us come in
With our jolly wassail
Oh little robin redbreast, he has a fine song
Give us of your cider, we won't keep you long
With our jolly wassail

Wassail, wassail

Your ale cup is white and your ale it is brown
Your beer is the best that ever can be found
With our jolly wassail
Oh little robin redbreast, he has a fine leg
Give us of your cider and we'll begin to beg
With our jolly wassail

Wassail, wassail

Your gin it is brewed from the juniper tree
Your gin is the best that ever can be
With our jolly wassail
Oh little robin redbreast, he has a fine toe
Give us of your cider and we'll begin to go
With our jolly wassail

Wassail, wassail
With our jolly wassail
