| A soul cake, a soul cake,
|
| Please, good missus, a soul cake,
|
| An apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry,
|
| Any good thing to make us all merry.
|
| A soul cake, a soul cake,
|
| Please, good missus, a soul cake,
|
| One for Peter, two for Paul,
|
| And three for Him that made us all.
|
| God bless the master of this house
|
| And the mistress also,
|
| And all the little children
|
| That round your table grow;
|
| The cattle in your stable,
|
| The dogs at your front door,
|
| And all that dwell within your gates
|
| We’ll wish you ten times more.
|
| A soul cake, a soul cake:
|
| Go down into the cellar
|
| And see what you can fi nd;
|
| If the barrels are not empty
|
| We’ll hope that you’ll be kind;
|
| We’ll hope that you’ll be kind
|
| With your apple and your pear,
|
| And we’ll come no more a-soulin'
|
| Till Christmas time next year.
|
| A soul cake, a soul cake:
|
| The streets are very dirty,
|
| Me shoes are very thin,
|
| I have a little pocket
|
| To put a penny in;
|
| If you haven’t got a penny
|
| A ha’penny will do;
|
| If you haven’t got a ha’penny
|
| God bless you.
|
| A soul cake, a soul cake:
