Words and Lyrics to
Pauper's Christmas Carol
Full of drink and full of meat,
On our Saviuor's natal day,
Charity's perennial treat;
Thus I heard a Pauper say:
"Ought not I to dance and sing
Thus supplied with famous cheer!
Heigho!
I hardly know
Christmas comes but once a year.
"After labour's long turmoil,
Sorry fare and frequent fast,
Two-and-fifty weeks of toil,
Pudding-time is come at last!
But are raisins high or low,
Flour and suet cheap or dear?
Heigho!
I hardly know
Christmas comes but once a year.
"Fed upon the coarsest fare
Three hundred days and sixty-four
But for one on viands rare,
Just as if I wasn't poor!
Ought not I to bless my stars,
Warden, clerk, and overseer?
Heigho!
I hardly know
Christmas comes but once a year.
"Treated like a welcome guest,
One of Nature's social chain,
Seated, tended on, and press'd
But when shall I be press'd again
Twice to pudding, thrice to beef,
A dozen times to ale and beer?
Heigho!
I hardly know
Christmas comes but once a year.
"Come to-morrow how it will;
Diet scant and usage rough,
Hunger once has had its fill,
Thirst for once has had enough,
But shall I ever dine again?
Or see another feast appear?
Heigho!
I only know
Christmas comes but once a year!
"Frozen cares begin to melt,
Hopes revive and spirits flow
Feeling as I have not felt
Since a dozen months ago
Glad enough so sing a song
To-morrow shall I volunteer?
Heigho!
I hardly know
Christmas comes but once a year.
"Bright and blessed is the time,
Sorrows end and joys begin,
While the bells with merry chime
Ring the Day of Plenty in!
But the happy tide to hail,
With a sigh or with a tear,
Heigho!
I hardly know
Christmas comes but once a year!"
