The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol
The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol

We bring you good ale we bring you strong beer
With which we wish you a joyful new year
And with this bough of green holly standing tall
We sing wassail to the Lord of Misrule

The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol
The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol

Come dress you all in a livery of green
With ribbons of colours so bright to be seen
Covered all over with trinkets and jewels
Then dance and sing to the Lord of Misrule

The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol
The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol

To the church we will go and there run amock
The priest and all clergy to unfrock
But pray let them worship the babe in the stall
While we sing our praises to the Lord of Misrule

The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol
The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol

Go fetch a yulelog let it burn bright
To keep us all warm on a cold winters night
Tether and fetch it into the great hall
The Master pays well the Lord of Misrule

Light up the flambeau’s strike every one
The old year has fled a new year’s begun
Soon will come summer and the cuckoo will call
For he is a friend of the Lord of Misrule

The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol
The Lord of Misrule will come to you all
Dancing and singing this noble carol
