THE
COTTAGING CAROL
He we come a-cottaging
Along the country lanes.
We bang on doors and sip your wine,
And fall into the drains!
Raise a glass, one or two,
And to you your cottage too!
May your Christmas be merry,
And may your head be clear!
May your Christmas be merry with cheer!
First we run to number three,
There’s rumour of a still;
We shake some hands and sit awhile,
’Cause John looks rather ill.
Next we find the spinsters who
Keep house beside the stream.
We use the loo, a gin or two,
Or Harvey’s Bristol Cream.
Down the hill we saunter
To the Rectory so dark.
We knock and yell, and ring the bell,
But Father’s in the park!
Up the High Street, past the church
Where useful trees abound.
We water sod with thanks to God,
For this is holy ground.
Tune: The Wassail Song
