I have family down in Cornwall so think of it as
a second home, because of this I became aware
that they have a similar tradition of singing carols
in pubs. After a bit of research concentrating on a
collector called Ralph Dunstan, I came across this
fantastic Cornish Wassailing song
lyrics
Oh Mistress at your door,
Our wassail now begins,
Come open your door,
And let us come in.
Chorus
For the wassail, wassail, wassail,
Great joy to our jolly wassail,
For the wassail, wassail, wassail,
Great joy to our jolly wassail.
To Mistress and to Sir,
Sitting by the fire,
While we poor wassailers,
Travel through mires.
Chorus
To Mistress and to Sir,
Sitting at your ease,
With hands in your pockets,
To give what you please.
Chorus
Come men and maidens all,
I pray you now draw near,
Come fill up our bowls,
With cider and beer.
Chorus
Watch our faces now,
As we smile at our flowing bowls,
We started with nought,
But soon we’ll be full.
Chorus
To you we wish you peace,
And a long, long time to live,
Because you’re so free,
And willing to give.
Chorus
We wish you Christmas cheer,
And to you a happy new year,
With plenty of money,
And barrels of beer.
