About the Artist
Lyrics
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 cеllar and see what you can find If the barrels are not еmpty 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, then God bless you A soul cake, a soul cake
