Now Christmas Time Is Coming On Lyrics

Now Christmas time is coming on,
And, painful Harvest past and gone;
Now reap the fruit of all your care
With Christmas pies and good strong beer,
Sirlions of beer and hams of bacon,
With hollow meats, roast goose and capon;
With good strong liquor; but take care
To let the poor come in for share.

Now hey for Christmas, let the spits go round,
Let cauldrons boil and pies i' th' oven be found.
May they who now deny themselves good cheer,
Against their wills keep strict Lent all the year.
