Hey, Ho, Nobody Home
Traditional, arr. J. Hill

Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be merry
Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be merry

A soul, 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
One for Peter, two for Paul
Three for Him who made us all

Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be merry
Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be merry

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 half-penny will do
If you haven't got a half-penny
Then God bless you

A soul, 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
One for Peter, two for Paul
Three for Him who made us all

O, bless the master of this house
And the mistress, too
And all the little children
Who 'round your table grow
The cattle in your stable
The dog by your front door
And all who dwell within your gates
We wish you ten times more

Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be merry
Hey, ho, nobody home
Meat nor drink nor money have I none
Yet will I be merry
