I ask you, good king, whence the flask?
Mmmmmmmmmm!
Good king, whence hast thou slept [C] out on the feast [G] of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, [C] deep and crisp [G] and even?
Brightly shone the moon that [C] night, though the [G] frost was cruel,
When a poor man came in sight, gathering [C] winter few.
Winter few!
[G]
Bring me flesh and bring me wine, bring me pine, love's hither,
Thou and I will see him [C] dine, when we bear [Gm] him thither.
Page [G] and monarch, forth they went, [C] forth they went [G] together,
Through the rude winds, wild laments, and the [C] bitter wedge.

[G] Sire, the night is darker now, and the wind blows stronger,
Fails my heart, I know not how, I can go no longer.
[E] Mark my footsteps, my good page, tread thou in them boldly,
Thou shalt find the winter's rage, freeze thy blood [C] less cold.
[G] In his master's steps he trod, where the [G] snow lay dinted,
He was in the very [C] sod, which the [G] saint had printed.
Therefore, Christian men, be sure, [C] wealth or rank [G] possessing,
Ye who now will bless the poor, shall [C] yourselves find blessing.
[G] Blessing!
Mmmmmmmmmm!
