I would very much appreciate it if anyone out there could come up with the third verse of the song called "SOULCAKE", or the SOULING SONG.

Thanks

Joe--

Peter, Paul, and Mary recorded a song which they called *a-soulin'* and which has a fairly large number of verses, some of which are apparently lifted from other songs. Are you interested?

I guess it depends on what you sing as the first and second verse - anyway here's two

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 apples and strawberries For will come no more a solin' till this time next year

chorus

My shoes are very dirty, my coat is very thin I have a little pocket to put a penny in If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penney will do If you haven't got a ha'penny, then God bless you

chorus

A SOALIN' (Stookey/Batteaste/Mezzetti)- Neworld Media Music Publishers -ASCAP  Hey ho, nobody home, meat nor drink nor money have I none Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home. Hey ho, nobody home, Meat nor drink nor money have I none Yet shall we be merry, Hey ho, nobody home. Hey Ho, nobody home.  Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,  any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made 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 and the dog by your front door And all that dwell within your gates  we wish you ten times more.  Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,  any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. 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 strawber' For we'll come no more a 'soalin' till this time next year.  Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,  any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. 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 penny, a ha' penny will do. If you haven't got a ha' penny then God bless you.  Soal, a soal, a soal cake, please good missus a soul cake. An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,  any good thing to make us all merry, One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all. 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.
