A soalin'

Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink
Nor money have i none 
Yet shall we be merry
Hey, no,nobody home
Meat nor drink
Nor money have i none
Yet shall we've merry
Hey,ho,nobody home
hey,ho,nobody home


*'Soal, a 'soal, a 'soal cake
Please, good missus, a 'soal cake
Any good thing to make us all marry
One for Peter, two for Paul
Three for Him who make 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 dwells within your gates
We wish you ten times more

(* Repeat)
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 strawberr'
For we'll come no more a 'soalin'
Til' this time next year

(* Repeat)


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 ha'penny
Then God bless you

(* Repeat)

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
