Over deze songtekst:

'Gloucestershire Wassail' heeft ook wel als titel 'The Waysailing Bowl'. Het was een kom die men gebruikte om geld in te zamelen. Maar je kon er ook gewoon uit drinken. Soms plaatste men in de Kersttijd er een kleine Kerstboom in.
In de Kersttijd gingen de Wassailers van deur tot deur en zongen hun Wassail Song. Dit gebeurde voor het eerst in Gloucestershire. 'Wassail' betekent feesten, maar ook drinkgelag.

Wassail! Wassail all over the town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree
With the wassailing-bowl, we'll drink to thee

So here is to Cherry and to his right cheek
Pray God send our master a good piece of beef
And a good piece of beef that we all may see
With the wassailing-bowl we'll drink to thee

And here is to Dobbin and to his right eye
Pray God send our master a good Christmas pie
And a good Christmas pie that we may all see
With our wassailing-bowl, we'll drink to thee

So here is to Broad May and to her broad horn
May God send our master a good crop of corn
And a good crop of corn that we may all see
With the wassailing-bowl we'll drink to thee

And here is to Fillpail and to her left ear
Pray God send our master a happy new year
And a happy new year as e'er he did see
With our wassailing-bowl we'll drink to thee

And here is to Colly and to her long tail
Pray God send our master he never may fail
A bowl of strong beer, I pray you draw near
And our jolly wassail it's then you shall hear

Then here's to the maid in the lily-white smock
Who tripped to the door and slipped back the lock
Who tripped to the door and pulled back the pin
For to let these jolly wassailers in

Wassail! Wassail all over the town
Our toast it is white and our ale it is brown
Our bowl it is made of the white maple tree
With the wassailing-bowl, we'll drink to thee

Drink to thee, drink to thee
With the wassailing-bowl we'll drink to thee
