Get Up and Bar the Door (Jestalib) Lyrics

It fell about a Xmas time, and a  ________  time it was then

When our good wife had some puddings ________ in a pan

The wind it blew from north to south, and it ________ onto the floor

Said our good man to his good wife, "get up and bar the door"

"My________ is in the mixing bowl as well that you can see

It's not been barred this hundred year; it'll not be barred by me"

They made a pact between themselves; they made it ________ and sure

"Who ere should speak the first word, should ________ and bar the door!"      

By there came two gentlemen at 12 o'clock at night

There they saw the man and wife by their candlelight

"Have we found a ________ man's house, or is it that you're poor?"

But neither ________ would speak a ________ for barrin' up the door

First they ________ the white puddings, and then the ________ the black

O and though the good wife ________ a lot yet not a word she spak

Said one traveler to the other "you can ________ a knife

So, you shave off the old man's ________ and I will ________ his wife"

"There's no hot ________ in the house, and what shall I do then?"

"Why don't you use the ________ that's been boilin' in the pan"

Then up jumped our good man, and an ________ man was he

"Why'd you________ my wife before my eyes and shave my ________ with gravy?"

Then up ________ our good wife and ________ around the floor

"Admit it now, you've spoken first, get up and bar the door!"

"Admit it now, you've spoken first, get up and bar the door!"
