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 flambeaus
strike every one
The old year has fled a new years 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
