A Soalin'

Hey ho nobody home

Meat nor drink nor money have I none

Yet shall we be merry

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

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

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

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
