Soul Cake

[Chorus]

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

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 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

We'll hope that you'll be kind

With your apple and your pear

And we'll come no more a-souling

'Til Christmas time next year

[Chorus]

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

Made us all

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus]

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

For Him that made us all

For Him that made us all
