Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
God bless the master of this house
And the mistress also
And all the little children
That 'round your table grow
[Verse 5]
The cattle in your stable
The dogs at your front door
And all that dwell within your gates
We'll wish ya ten times more
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Go down into the cellar
And see what you can find
If the barrels are not empty
We'll hope that you'll be kind
[Verse 9]
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
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
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 (Made us all)
[Verse 12]
The streets are very dirty
Me shoes are very thin
I have a little pocket
To put a penny in
[Verse 13]
If you haven't got a penny
A ha' penny will do
If you haven't got a ha' penny
Then God bless you
[Verse 14]
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
[Verse 15]
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
(For Him that made us all)
(For Him that made us all)
