An apple, a pear, a plum, a
cherry, any good thing to make us all merry,
Em Bm G Bm Em Bm G Em
One for Peter, two for Paul,
three for Him that made us all.
CHORUS:
God bless the master of this
house and the mistress also,
And all the little children
that 'round your table grow.
The cattle in your stable,
the dog by your front door
And all that dwells within
your gates, we wish you ten times more.
CHORUS:
Go down into the cellar and
see what you can find.
If the barrels are not
empty, we hope you will be kind.
We hope you will be kind
with your apple and strawber'
For we won't come around
until this time next year.
CHORUS:
The streets are very dirty,
my shoes are very thin
I havd a little pocket to
put a penny in.
If you haven't got a penny,
a ha'penny will do.
If you haven't got a
ha'penny then God bless you!
CHORUS:
Now to the Lord
sing praises, all you within this place.
And with true
love and brotherhood each other now embrace.
This holy tide
of Christmas of beauty and of grace,
Oh, tidings of
comfort and joy.
