+====== Somerset Wassail ======
+Wassail and wassail all over the town
+The cup it is white and the ale it is brown
+The cup it is made of the good ashen tree
+And so is the malt of the best barley
+**Chorus:**
+//For its your wassail and its our wassail
+And its joy be to you and a jolly wassail//
+Oh master and missus, are you all within?
+Pray open the door and let us come in
+O master and missus a-sitting by the fire
+Pray think on us poor travelers, a traveling in the mire
+[//chorus//]
+Oh where is the maid with the silver-headed pin
+To open the door and let us come in
+Oh master and missus, it is our desire
+A good loaf and cheese and a toast by the fire
+[//chorus//]
+There was an old man and he had an old cow
+And how for to keep her he didn't know how
+He built up a barn for to keep his cow warm
+And a drop or two of cider will do us no harm
+[//chorus//]
+The girt dog of Langport he burnt his long tail
+And this is the night we go singing wassail
+O master and missus now we must be gone
+God bless all in this house until we do come again
