Subject(s): Halloween;soul


SOUL Day, Soul Day, Saul:
One for Peter, two for Paul:
Three for Him who made us all.
An apple or a pear, a plum or a cherry,
Any good thing that will make us all merry.
Put your hand in your pocket and pull out your keys:
Go down in the cellar, bring up what you please:
A glass of your wine, or a cup of your beer,
And we'll never come souling till this time next year.
We are a pack of merry boys all in the mind,
We have come a-souling for what we can find.
Soul, soul, sole of my shoe:
If you have no apples, money will do.
Up with your kettle, and down with your pan:
Give us an answer—and let us be gone.
