Description

’TWAS JOLLY, JOLLY WAT

’Twas jolly, jolly Wat, my foy,

He was a goodman’s shepherd boy,

And he sat by his sheep

On the hill-side so steep,

And piped this song,

Ut hoy! Ut hoy!

O merry, merry sing for joy,

Ut hoy!

A’down from Heav’n that is so high

There came an angel companye,

And on Bethlehem hill

Thro’ the night-tide so still

Their song out-rang:

On high, On high,

O glory be to God on high,

On high!

Now must Wat go where Christ is born,

Yea, go and come again to-morn.

And my pipe it shall play,

All my heart it doth say

To Shepherd King:

O peace on earth, good will to men,

The angels sang again, again,

For to you was He born

On this Christmas morn,

So sing we all:

[Pg 6]

Jesu my King, it’s naught for Thee,

A bob of cherries, one, two, three,

But my tar-box and ball,

And my pipe, I give all

To Thee, my King.

Farewell, herd-boy, saith Mary mild.

Thanks, jolly Wat, smiled Mary’s child,

For fit gift for a king

Is your heart in the thing.

So pipe you well,

For joy, for joy!
