Les paroles de la chanson
« Soul cake »
Sting

A soul, a 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, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.
A soul, a soul cake, please good missus a soul cake.
An apple, a pear, a plum, a cherry,
any good thing to make us all merry,
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, a soul cake...
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 soalin till Xmas time next year.
A soul, a soul cake...
The streets are very dirty, my shoes are very thin.
I have a little pocket to put a penny in.
If you havent got a penny, a ha’ penny will do.
If you havent got a ha’ penny then God bless you.
A soul, a soul cake...
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.
A soul, a soul cake...
