Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Soul, a soul, a soul cake, please good misses, 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
[Verse 3]
God bless the master of this house and the mistress 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
[Verse 4]
Soul, a soul, a soul cake, please good misses, 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
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Soul, a soul, a soul cake, please good misses, 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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Soul, a soul, a soul cake, please good misses, 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
[Verse 9]
Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place
(Soul, a soul, a soul cake, please good misses, a soul cake)
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace
(An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry, any good thing to make us all merry)
This holy tide of Christmas of beauty and of grace
(One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all)
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
(Three for Him who made us all)
