Come to the orchard my lovelies
\nLets choose the tallest of trees
\nThe one that produces sweet apples
\nAnd chives grow there under to please<\/p>\n
We are all here to wassail and to say
\nWe are now honouring you and today
\nYou will receive us you will agree
\nWhat we are coming to do is for thee<\/p>\n
Onto your roots the finest we pour
\nThe best vintage cider which will explore
\nYour roots will impregnate and strengthen
\nThem well
\nAnd pieces of sweet cake also we shall <\/p>\n
Tie to the boughs and lay at your root
\nTo gather in Robins and maybe a coot
\nTo leave behind droppings to compliment all
\nMiracle composting drops that may
\nFall<\/p>\n
And hang in the branches more pieces of cake
\nWe shall wassail we shall partake
\nA celebration of what you have done
\nGiven us apples ripened by the sun<\/p>\n
And all of the the guardians will fly and be here
\nThe robins whose red breasted warm hearts will cheer
\nProtecting and guarding our fruits all the way
\nAnd on the lower boughs they just may play<\/p>\n
Then we shall make noise and bash at the tree
\nDriving out evil the spirits we see
\nMid day will see us all wassailing there
\nAnd the harvest thats coming no one dare compare<\/p>\n
Cider of the gods is what we shall make
\nThe best brew on earth lets all partake
\nLets drink it down and lets be a fan
\nOf what is for certain the apple tree man<\/p>\n
