Good health, love and peace
                    D
Be all here in this place

By your leave we will sing

Concerning our king

Our king is well-dressed
                D
In silks of the best

In ribbons so rare

No king can compare

G
We have travelled many miles
                D
Over hedges and stiles
   G         C
In search of our king
         D  G
Unto you we bring

[Verse]
G
We have powder and shot
               D
To conquer the lot
        G      C
We have cannon and ball
           D    G
To conquer them all

Old Christmas is past

Twelve tide is the last one

And we bid you adieu

Great joy to the new
               C
And we bid you adieu

Great joy to the new
