Soul cake

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,

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
And the dog by your front door.
And all that dwell within your gates
we wish you ten times more.

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.

Go down into the cellar
And see what you can find.
If the barrels are not empty
We hope you will be kind.
We hope you will be kind
With your apple and strawber’
For we’ll come no more a ’soalin’
Till Xmas time next year.

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.

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 then God bless you.

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
Any good thing to make us all merry,

A soul, a soul cake,
Please good missus a soul cake.
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all.
