Chorus (repeat after each verse): A soul, a soul, a soul cake, Please, good missus, a soul cake, An apple, a pear, a plum or a cherry, Any good thing to make us merry. One for Peter, two for Paul, Three for Him that made us all.
God bless the master of this house and the mistress also And all the little children that around your table grow, Likewise your men and maidens, your cattle and your store And all that dwells within your gates, We wish you ten times more.
The lanes are very dirty and my shoes are very thin, I've got a little pocket I can 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.
