Wassail, wassail, all over the town. The cup, it is white and the ale, it is brown.
The cup, it is made of the good ashen tree and so is the malt of the finest barley.
Oh, master and missus, are you all within? Pray open the door and let us come in.
Oh, master and missus who sit by the fire, pray think of the trav'lers who walk through the mire.
Oh, where is the maid with the silver hair pin to open the door and let us come in?
Oh, master and missus, it is our desire, a good loaf and cheese and a toast by the fire.
There was an old man and he had an old cow and how for to keep her, he didn't know how.
He built up a barn for to keep his cow warm and a drop of good cider will do us no harm.
The good dog of Langport, he burnt his long tail and this is the night we go singing wassail.
Oh, master and missus, now we must be gone. Bless all in this house until we come again.
Bless all in this house 'till we come again!
The Kingston Trio is an American musical group formed in 1957 in San Francisco, California. Composed of Dave Guard (vocals and guitar), Bob Shane (vocals and banjo), and Nick Reynolds (vocals and guitar), the trio made a significant contribution to the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. Their musical style was characterized by sophisticated harmonic arrangements, a mix of traditional American folk songs and original compositions, often with ironic or satirical lyrics. The Kingston Trio's success was enormous: they sold millions of records, had numerous chart hits, including "Tom Dooley", "M-T-M" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", and were guests on popular television shows like "The Ed Sullivan Show". Their impact on the American music scene was significant, helping to spread folk music to a wider audience. After several lineup changes over the years, the group disbanded in 1967. Bob Shane continued to perform with a new formation of the Kingston Trio until his death in 2020.
