How did this happen! Was it prohibition? Was it dumbing
down? How did the word wassail
get removed and caroling inserted! The nerve! Keep an
eye out and if you encounter such
abuse please contact the management and help set things
right-
the word is    W A S S A I L
You can perhaps help them by sending them to the wassail
epicenter:
http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/5567/wassail.html

Yes, I know its just a living and evolving
tradition....but are there no limits to
which folks will stoop with their censorial knives!
You can visit our pages though and write your own
wassail song! Try it!

Here we come a-caroling
                                                  Among
the leaves so green,
                                                   Here
we come a wand'ring,
                                                      
So fair to be seen.

                                                          
Chorus:
                                                   Love
and joy come to you,
                                                    And
to your wassail too
                                         And God bless
you and send you a Happy New Year,
                                              And God
send you a Happy New Year.

                                                    We
are not daily beggars
                                                   Who
beg from door to door,
                                                 But we
are neighbors' children,
                                                  Whom
you have seen before.
                                                       
repeat chorus

                                               God bless
the Master of this house,
                                                  
Likewise the Mistress too
                                                    And
all the little children,
                                                    That
round the table go.
                                                       
repeat chorus

                                                   And
all your kin and kinfolk
                                                   That
dwell both far and near
                                                  We
wish a Merry Christmas
                                                     And
Happy New Year.
                                                       
repeat chorus
-- 
Adam lay ybounden, bounden in a bond;
Four thousand winters thought he not too long.
And all was fro an apple, an apple that he took,
As clerkes finden written in their book,
Ne had the apple taken been, the apple taken been,
Ne had never our lady a been heavene queen.
Blessed be the time that apple taken was,
Therefore we moun singen, Deo gracias!
**************************************************
Yes, amen! let all adore thee
high on thine eternal throne;
Saviour, take the power and the glory;
claim the kingdom for thine own,
O come quickly! O come quickly!
Ocome quickly!
Alleluia Come, Lord Come!
