Sting - Soul Cake

SOUL CAKE
Chorus:A soul, 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,
A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.
A soul, 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,

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 and the dog by your front door.
And all that dwell within your gates
we wish you ten times more.

Chorus:A soul, a soul cake...

Go down into the cellar and see what you can find.
If the barrels are not empty we hope you will be kind.
We'll hope that you'll be kind with your apple and your pear
And we'll come no more a-soulin' till Christmas time next year




Chorus:A soul, a soul cake...
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

Chorus:A soul, a soul cake...
