[Roud 209; Ballad Index xxApTrW2; trad.] The Apple Wassail is a traditional form of wassailing practiced in the cider orchards of southern England during the winter.

O lily-white lily, o lily-white pin,
Please to come down and let us come in!
Lily-white lily, o lily-white smock,
Please to come down and pull back the lock!

Chorus:
(It's) Our wassail jolly wassail!
Joy come to our jolly wassail!
How well they may bloom, how well they may bear
So we may have apples and cider next year.
