HERE WE COME A-WASSAILING

(6/8 time signature moves to 2/4 in chorus)

D
Here we come a wassailing 
          A7        D
among the leaves so green
G       D      A7 
Here we come a wandering so 
Em         A7
fair to be seen

CHORUS:
(A7)     D   G       D
Love and joy come to you
A7     D        G       D
And to you your wassail too
A7      D     B7      Em   A7    D         A7
And God bless you and send you a happy new year,
        D    B7    Em    A7  D
And God send you a happy new year.


VERSE 2
We are not daily beggars
That beg from door to door
But we are neighbors' children
Whom you have seen before.

VERSE 3
We have got a little purse
Of stretching leather skin,
We want a little of your money
To line it well within.

VERSE 4
Bring us out a table,
And spread it with a cloth;
Bring us out a moldy cheese,
And some of your Christmas loaf.

VERSE 5
God bless the master of this house,
Likewise the mistress too,
And all the little children
That 'round the table go.
