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!”
