A Soalin' Lyrics - Peter, Paul & Mary

Hey ho, nobody home 

Meat nor drink nor money, have I none 

Yet shall we be merry 

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
