Cornish Wassailing
Kate Rusby


Oh, mistress at your door
Our wassail now begins
Come open your door and let us come in
For the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To mistress and to sir
Sitting by the fire
While we poor wassailers travel through mires
For the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To mistress and to sir
Sitting at your ease
With hands in your pockets to give what you please

For the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
Come men and maidens all
I pray you now draw near
Come fill up our bowls with cider and beer
For the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
Oh, watch our faces now
As we smile at our flowing bowl
We started with nought but soon we'll be full
From the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To you we wish you peace
And a long, long time to live
Because you're so free and willing to give
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
We wish you Christmas cheer
And to you a happy new year
With plenty of money and barrels of beer
For the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
To the wassail, wassail, wassail
Great joy to our jolly wassail
