Homeless Wassail

Dm C Am Wassail, wassail all over the town Dm C F G Our cup is white and our ale is brown. Dm C Am But huddled on this iron grate Dm C F G We poor and hungry curse our fate. F C Dm No wassail bowl for such as these Dm C Bb Am No turkey scraps, no ale nor cheese F C Dm This Christmas eve, our heart's desire Dm C F G Is a bottle of gin and trash can fire. Dm C Am Good Christian, mind as home you go Dm C F G With dreams of holly and mistletoe Dm C Am That the holly bears a dreadful thorn Dm C F G For those who wake to a frozen dawn. Dm C Am Oh, where is he that holy child Dm C F G Once born of Mary, meek and mild? Dm C Am And whither hope, good will to men Dm C F G Now and forever more,amen? Dm C Am All ye who dine with face a-glow Dm C F G In reginensi atrio Dm C Am Pray pause a while at pleasure's door Dm C F G And sup some sorrow with the poor. Dm C Am Wassail, wassail all over the town Dm C F G Our cup is white and our ale is brown. Dm C Am This cold and hunger, pain and care, Dm C F D Sweet Jesus Christ, it's hard to bear!
