Wassail Round the Branches Bare
Words and Music: Jane Lewis
- Root and shoot and bud and berry
Apple, pear and plum and cherry,
Friends and neighbours let’s be merry
Wassail round the branches bare,
Oh wassail round the branches bare,
Oh wassail round the branches - Robin Redbreast fluffed and free,
Perching on the feasting tree,
May there be fruit for you and me
Wassail etc - Summer sun and autumn showers,
Plenty work and lazy hours
Drink a toast for orchard flowers
Wassail etc - Splash some cider round the roots,
Stamp the earth down with your boots,
May the tree put out new shoots
Wassail etc
