Albert Grossman - A' Soalin' lyrics

Hey ho, nobody home Meat nor drink nor money, have I none Yet shall we be merry Hey ho, nobody home Hey ho, nobody home (Meat nor drink nor money, have I none) Yet shall we be merry Hey ho, nobody home Hey ho, nobody home Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who 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 dog by your front door And all that dwell within your gates, we wish you ten times more Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry 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 this time next year Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all 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 Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please, good missus a soul cake Apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry Any good thing to make us all merry One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all Now to the Lord, sing praises all you within this place And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
