Glad you enjoyed us singing this song, Happylmc! Did you perhaps grow up in Carhampton in Devon? I know this song is sung there at the pub - indeed it is sometimes called the Carhampton Wassail. It featured in a TV programme about their wassailing tradition, and spread via folk music circles and the internet from there. Cheers, David
I grew up treasuring this song. I have not heard it in years, I am SO glad to find it sung at last! It is a part of my childhood I had feard lost, as it us such a rare song.
