lyrics

Come follow, follow me, those that good fellows be,
Into the battery our manhood for to try;
The master keeps a bounteous house, and gives leave freely to carouse.
When we have done this fray, then we will go to play
At cards or else at dice, and be rich in a trice;
Then let the knaves go round apace, I hope each time to have an ace.
And when that’s spent the day, we'll Christmas gambols play,
At hot cockles beside, and then go to all-hide,
With many other pretty toys, men, women, youths, maids, girls and boys.
Come, let's dance round the hall, and let's for liquor call;
Put apples in the fire, sweet maids, I you desire;
And let a bowl be spiced well, of happy stuff that doth excel.
Now of my master kind, good welcome I did find,
And of my loving mistress, this merry time of Christmas;
For which to them great thanks I give, God grant they long together live.
