lyrics
All hail to the days that merit more praise,
Than all the rest of the year,
And welcome the nights
that double delights,
As well for the poor as the peer,
Good fortune attend each
merry man’s friend,
That does but the best that he may,
Forgetting all wrongs with music and song,
To drive the cold winter away,
To drive the cold winter away.
Tis’ ill for a mind to anger inclined,
To think of small injuries now,
If it’s wrath that you seek don’t
lend her your cheek,
Nor let her inhibit thy brow,
Cast out of thy books malevolent looks,
That both beauty and youth will decay,
And wholly consort with
mirth and with sport,
To drive the cold winter away,
To drive the cold winter away.
This time of the year is spent in good cheer,
And neighbours together do meet,
Oh to sit by the fire with friendly desire,
Each other in love for to greet,
Old grudges forgot are put in the pot,
All sorrows beside them will lay,
And the old and the young
will carol this song,
To drive the cold winter away,
To drive the cold winter away.
When Christmas tide comes in like bride,
With holly and ivy clad,
Twelve days of the year is
spent in good cheer,
And every household is glad,
The country guise is then to devise,
Some gambols of Christmas to play,
And every young man does
the best that he can,
To drive the cold winter away,
To drive the cold winter away.
