What say you to come with me
Drink a health and toast to the trees
Roots grow deep across this land
To shelter us from storms, when we can’t stand
As we take our leave of grain
And fruits which sustain all our labour
This song reminds us of the debt we owe
To the land on which we grow
Wassailing
All hailing
The things that have grown from what we’ve sown
Some ailing
Some failing
But still there’s enough to fill our bowl
Won’t be long until the frost comes down
We can rest our backs and fields from the plough
So wassail, all hail
The land on which we stand
Did the apple fall too far from the tree?
Are you blind where your forefathers could see?
That this disregard for the sweat and toil
Of things that live above and below the soil
Is what adds up to a combination greater than the sum of its parts
So remember that the next time you curse the name
Of some so-called pest
That has flown the nest
And taken some of your grain to help it on its way
It might be back some day with a plague
Wassailing
All hailing
The things that have grown from what we’ve sown
Some ailing
Some failing
But still there’s enough to fill our bowl
Won’t be long until the frost comes down
We can rest our backs and fields from the plough
So wassail, all hail
The land on which we stand
