Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
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 at your front door
And all that dwell within your gates, we wish you ten times more
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
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 pear
For we'll come no more a 'Soalin'' till this time next year
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
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
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
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
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry
Any good thing to make us all merry
Soul cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
One for Peter, two for Paul,
Three for Him who made us all
