"Here We Come A-Caroling" (or "Here We Come A-Wassailing") is an English traditional Christmas carol and New Year's song. It refers to "wassailing", or singing carols door-to-door. An old English wassail song, or song to wish good health, which is what "wassail" means. According to Readers Digest, "the Christmas spirit often made the rich a little more generous than usual, and bands of beggars and orphans used to dance their way through the snowy streets of England, offering to sing good cheer and to tell good fortune if the householder would give them a drink from his wassail bowl or a penny or a pork pie or, let them stand for a few minutes beside the warmth of his hearth. The wassail bowl itself was a hearty combination of hot ale or beer and spices and mead, just alcoholic enough to warm tingling toes and fingers of the singers".

Lyrics[]

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 you glad Christmas 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,

that beg from door to door

But we are neighbor's children,

whom you have seen before

[Chorus]

God bless the master of this house,

likewise the mistress too

And all the little children,

that round the table go

[Chorus]
