Christmas Carols

The Boar His Head In Hand I Bring Lyrics
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
The Boar his head is armed gay.

1. The boar his head in hand I bring
With garland gay in porttoring,
I pray you all with me to sing,
With Hey!

2. Lords, knights, and squires,
Parsons, priests, and vicars,
The boar his head is in the first mess,
With Hey!

3. The boar his head, as I you say,
He takes his leave and goeth his way,
Gone after the Twelfth day,
With Hey!

4. Then comes in the second course with mickle pride,
The cranes, the herons, the bitterns, by their side
To partridges and the plovers, the woodcocks, and the snipe,
With Hey!

5. Larks in hot show ladies for to pick,
Good drink thereto, luscious and fine,
Blwet of Allemaine, Romnay, and wine,
With Hey!

6. Good brewed ale and wine, dare I well say,
The boar his head with mustard armed so gay,
Furmity for pottage, with venison fine,
And the umbles of the doe and all that ever comes in,
Capons well baked, with the pieces of the roe,
Raisins of currants, with other spices mo.
With Hey!
