lyrics

That old year well, away it fled,
A new year's come and entered,
So let us all our old sins downtread,
And joyful let's all appear,

And now we've New Year's gifts each friend,
For each other now to send,
And hope that we might these lives amend,
That truth it might one day appear,

Oh let all good company,
In cheerful manner all agree,
Here a welcome that all might see,
Oh send us a happy New Year,

Come lads come lasses, come everyone,
Come Tom, Jack, Mary, Bess and Joan,
Let's cut the meat down onto the bone,
A welcome you need never fear,

Oh let all good company,
In cheerful manner all agree,
Here a welcome that all might see,
Oh send us a happy New Year,

Come give me liquor when I should call,
I drink to all who are in this hall,
As one year rises, another falls,
So lean in and lend me an ear,

Oh let all good company,
In cheerful manner all agree,
Here a welcome that all might see,
Oh send us a happy New Year!
