_ _ O wassail, o wassail, from out [Fm] of the [C] town, [Cm]
Our cup it is white [Fm] and our [C] aisle it is brown.
[Cm] Our wassail is a maid of the good Isle [F] and [Cm] high, Some nutmeg and ginger [D] the best we could [Bb] buy.
Fawldi-da, _ [N] fawldi-da, _ fawldi-da, _ fawldi-dee, Fawldi-der-a, fawldi-der-ee, sing [C] to the lion. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm]
Our wassail is a maid of the elderberry bough, And so my good neighbours [D] all [Cm] drink unto thou.
Besides _ all on earth the olive _ [Fm] apples in [Cm] store, Pray let us come in, for [D] it's cold by the [Bb] door.
_ [N] Fawldi-da, _ fawldi-da, fawldi-da, fawldi _ -dee, Fawldi-der-a, fawldi-der-ee, sing to [Cm] the lion. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ We hope that [Bb] your apple [Eb] trees prosper [Bb] and bear, So [Cm] that we may have cider [Gm] when we call next year.
[Cm] And where you have [Bb] one barrel, [Eb] we hope you'll [Bb] have ten, [Cm] So that we may have cider when [Eb] we call [Bb] again.

Fawldi-da, [Bb] fawldi-da, [Cm] _ _
_ [Bb] fawldi-dee, [Cm] fawldi-der-a, _ [Gm] fawldi-der-ee, [Cm] sing to [Fm] the [Cm] lion.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ There's a master and [Bb] a mistress [Eb] sitting down by [Bb] the fire, [Cm] While we poor wassail boys [Bb] stand here in [Gm] the mire.
Come you [Cm]
[Bb] pretty maid, [Eb] with your silver [Bb]-hatted pin, [Cm] Pray open the door [Eb] and let us [Bb] come in.

[Bb] _ -da, fawldi-dee, [Cm] fawldi-der-a, fawldi [Gm]-der-ee, [Cm] sing to [Fm] the [Cm] lion. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] As we [Cm] poor [Gm] wassail [Cm] boys [Eb] so weary and [Bb] cold, [Cm] Please drop some small [Gm] silver _ into our bowl.
[Cm] And if we [Bb]
survive [Eb] for another new [Bb] year, [Cm] Perhaps we may call and [Eb] see who does [Bb] live here.
[Eb] Fawldi-da, _ [Bb] fawldi _ _ [C]-da, _ [Bb]

_ _ [Cm] _ _ We know by the moon that we are [C] not too soon, [D] And [Cm] we know by the sky that [D] we are not too [C] high.
And [Cm] we know [C] by the stars that we are not too far, And [Cm] we know by the ground [C] that we are within.
[Bb] _ Fawldi [N]-da, fawldi-da, fawldi _ _ _ -dee, fawldi-der-a, fawldi-der-ee, sing to the [C] lion. _ _
