A soul cake, soul cake, please good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry
A soul cake, soul cake, please good missus a soul cake
One for you, two for you, 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

A soul cake, soul cake, please good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
A soul cake, soul cake, please good missus a soul cake
One for me, two for you, 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 pear
For we'll come no more a 'soulin' till Christmas time next year

A soul cake, soul cake, please good missus a soul cake
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
A soul cake, soul cake, please good missus a soul cake
One for me, two for you, three for Him who made us all
