A'soalin Lyrics

Hey ho, nobody home.
Meat nor drink nor money have I none.
Yet shall we be merry.
Hey ho, nobody home.

Soal, soal, soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, and a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry,
One for me, two for you, three for He who made us all.

God bless the master of this house, and the missus also
And all the little children that around your table grow.
The cattle in your stable, the dog by your front door
And all that dwells within your gates we wish you ten times more.

Soal, soal, soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, and a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry,
One for me, two for you, three for He 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' til this time next year.

Soal, soal, soal cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, and a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry,
One for me, two for you, three for He who made us all.

Hey ho, nobody home.
Meat nor drink nor money have I none.
Yet shall we be merry.
Hey ho, nobody home.

The streets are very dirty, my 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.
