Not a Mid Cheshire tradition I ever participated in, but it went on around Northwich, I know. All I remember of the song was :-

This night we come a-soulin', a-soulin' this night,
And we hope you will remember this rare soulin' night,
Look down from your window and see what is here,
We have whisky and brandy and the best of good beer....

There was more, but it was one I didn't indulge in, we used to save our energy for Guy Fawkes. It was traditionally All Souls Night, but the local lads usually started about a week before. If it was someone you didn't like you were serenading you could do wonders wth the word a-soulin'.
