Apple Tree Wassail

by The Watersons

Lyrics
Oh a lily white lily, oh lily white pin
Please to come down and let us come in
Lily white lily, oh lily white smock
Please to come down and pull back the lock

Our wassail, jolly wassail
Joy come to our jolly wassail
How well the may bloom, how well it may bear
So we may have apples and cider next year

Oh master and mistress, oh are you within?
Please to come down and pull back the pin

Our wassail, jolly wassail
Joy come to our jolly wassail
How well the may bloom, how well it may bear
So we may have apples and cider next year

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

Our wassail, jolly wassail
Joy come to our jolly wassail
How well the may bloom, how well it may bear
So we may have apples and cider next year

Oh the ringles and the jingles and the tenor of the song goes
Merrily, merrily, merrily
Oh the tenor of the song goes
Merrily, merrily, merrily
