My mother had an odd variation in her version from Watchet in Somerset.

If you haven't got a penny a ha'penny will do
If you haven't got a ha'penny a farthing will do,
If you haven't got a farthing shoe will do.

Could this be a corruption of "a sou will do"?


And don't forget to try baking some soulcakes, they are quite tasty.
