Please welcome in the hooden horse, for he is a jovial beast
Jangling bell, beady eye, clacking of nailed jaw
So give a welcome, give a cheer to bless you for the coming year
When winter time is round again, the hooden horse is here
Please welcome in the hooden horse, he's as black as Old Nick's beard
Come to mourn the passing darkness of the year
Give a welcome, give a fee, touch his forelock, you'll not need
If winter time is round again, the hooden horse is here
Please welcome in the hooden horse, for he's a tired old beast
Drovers worked him hard for 12 month of the year
Bring his wages, bring his pay, he's come to sweep this year away
If winter time is round again, the hooden horse is here
Please welcome in the hooden horse, he's the beast to lift the curse
Of long dark nights that chill our bones, pastures and our homes
Bring some cheese, bring some bread, give a cheer to raise the dead
If winter time is round again, the hooden horse is here
Bring some cheese, bring some bread, give a cheer to raise the dead
If winter time is round again, the hooden horse is here
