lyrics

Christmas hath made an end, Well-a-day! well-a-day!
Which was my dearest friend, more is the pity!
For with an heavy heart must I from thee depart,
To follow plough and cart all the year after.
Lent is fast coming on, Well-a-day! well-a-day!
That loves not anyone, more is the pity!
For I doubt both my cheeks will look thin from eating leeks;
Wise is he then that seeks for a friend in a corner.
And our good cheer is gone, Well-a-day! well-a-day!
And turned to a bone, more is the pity!
In my good master's house I shall eat no more souse,
Then give me one carouse, Gentle kind butler!
