Mick Tems Folklore: Nos Galan Gaeaf: A Welsh Hallowe'en (12) Lyr Add: COEDPOETH SOULING SONG 30 Oct 10


Coedpoeth Souling Song (For the eve of October 31 - North Wales. Coedpoeth is very near Wrexham, to the west.)

COEDPOETH SOULING SONG

We are two hearty lads all in one mind
We are come a-souling and hope you'll prove kind
We are come a-souling as it doth appear
And all we ask you is ale or strong beer.
Sole, sole, the sole of my shoe
If you have no apples then pears they will do.
Put your hand in your pocket, draw out with your keys
Go down to your cellar, bring up what you please.
Apples or pears, plums or cherries,
Any good thing that will make us all merry.
The roads are very dirty, my shoes are very thin,
I have got a little pocket to put a penny in.
One for Peter, one for Paul,
Two for him that made us all.
God bless the master, the mistress also
And all the little children around us do go.
Knock at the knocker, ring at the bell,
Give us a penny for ringing so well.
Up with your kettles and down with your pans,
Give us an answer that we may be gone
Until this time next year.

Mick Tems
