+====== Gloucestershire Wassail ======
+Wassail, wassail all over the town
+Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
+Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree
+With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee
+**Chorus:**
+//Drink to thee
+Drink to thee
+With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee//
+So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek
+Pray God send our master a good piece of beef
+And a good piece of beef that may we all see
+With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee
+[//chorus//]
+And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye
+Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie
+A good Christmas pie that may we all see
+With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee
+[//chorus//]
+So here is to Broad Mary and to her broad horn
+May God send our master a good crop of corn
+And a good crop of corn that may we all see
+With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee
+[//chorus//]
+And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear
+Pray God send our master a happy New Year
+And a happy New Year as e'er he did see
+With the wassailing bowl, we'll drink to thee
+[//chorus//]
+And here is to Colly and to her long tail
+Pray God send our master he never may fail
+A bowl of strong beer!  I pray you draw near
+And our jolly wassail it's then you shall hear
+[//chorus//]
+Come butler, come fill us a bowl of the best
+Then we hope that your soul in heaven may rest
+But if you do draw us a bowl of the small
+Then down shall go butler, bowl and all
+[//chorus//]
+Then here's to the maid in the lily white smock
+Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock
+Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin
+For to let these jolly wassailers in.
+[//chorus//]
