Merry We Will Be Lyrics

ANGELO BRANDUARDI
"fables and fantasies"

Merry We Will
Be

Go light the lantern and hang it on the gate
As a sign that all
men are welcome
In this house tonight to spend Christmastide
Among
friendly company
Then build the fire to a yuletide blaze
And keep the
great spit turning
Send the fiddlers in give us fair young maids
And
merry we will be

We've garlands red and garlands green
And a tree
with stars and tinsel
Where an angel blest by Father James
Looks down
upon our feast
Here comes the man of God himself
Give him wine and bid
him welcome
When his cheeks are red he'll forget his bed
And merry we
will be

There's holly hung from every beam
There's miseltoe and
ivy
If I catch you there I will take my share
Of kisses given
free
There's gifts for all both tall and small
There's trinkets toys and
baubles
So fill your dish with all you wish
And merry we will
be

We've garlands red and garlands green
And a tree with stars and
tinsel
For its open house and open hearts
This time of year to all
So
if you're passing by and hear
The sounds of joy and laughter
Won't you
step inside this Christmastide
And merry we will be

Go light the
lantern and hang it on the gate
As a sign that all men are welcome
In
this house tonight that is shining bright
With fire light and love
We've
garlands red and garlands green
And a tree with stars and tinsel
Good
friends come one come all this night
And merry we will be.
