A Carol At The Gates

Title:     A Carol At The Gates
Author: Harrison S. Morris [More Titles by Morris]

Here we come a-whistling through the fields so green;
Here we come a-singing, so fair to be seen.
God send you happy, God send you happy,
Pray God send you a happy New Year!

The roads are very dirty, my boots are very thin,
I have a little pocket to put a penny in.
God send you happy, etc.

Bring out your little table and spread it with a cloth,
Bring out some of your old ale, likewise your Christmas loaf.
God send you happy, etc.

God bless the master of this house, likewise the mistress, too,
And all the little children that round the table strew.
God send you happy, etc.

The cock sat up in the yew-tree, the hen came chuckling by,
I wish you a merry Christmas, and a good fat pig in the sty.
God send you happy, etc.

[The end]
