Sturman George

A soul! a soul! a soul-cake! Please good Missis, a soul-cake! An apple, a pear, a plum, or a cherry, Any good thing to make us all merry. One for Peter, two for Paul Three for Him who made us all. [Verse 1] God bless the master of this house, The misteress also, And all the little children That round your table grow. Likewise young men and maidens, Your cattle and your store; And all that dwells within your gates, We wish you ten times more. [Verse 2] The lanes are very dirty, My shoes are very thin, I've got a little pocket To put a penny in. If you haven't got a penny, A ha'penny will do; If you haven't get a ha'penny, It's God bless you.
