The practice of "Souling" in England dates to the medieval period and continued there until the 1930s, it is still carried out today in some other countries. Soul cakes are small round cakes (or cookies) that are traditionally made for All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day to commemorate the dead in the Christian tradition. The cakes before baking were topped with the mark of a cross to signify that these were alms. They are given out to "soulers", mainly children and the poor, who go from door to door during the days of Allhallowtide singing and saying prayers for the souls of the givers and their friends. The 1891 version of the song was not originally a Christmas tune, but by 1893 the song already shared lines from similar Christmas carols: "Here We Come A-Wassailing" and "Christmas is A-Coming". This version by Peter, Paul and Mary enhances the Christmas aspect of the song by adding parts of "Hey, Ho, Nobody Home" and "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen".

I LOVE THIS SONG...THIS IS CHRISTMAS!...CLASSIC
+Paul Papetti I have always loved PP&M and especially this song. Finally looked up some of the background on the net (in the notes) and found it even more interesting once I knew the history behind it.
Thank you for the tradition behind the song; I always love the history!
Always one of my Christmas season favorites.. happy to share the song and its background with you. So glad you found enjoyment in the music and the history. Happy Christmastide!
Apple, pear, cherry anything to make us merry.
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.
Thanks for the Lyrics!
Stepping backwards in time
I sing this song from Oct till New Years. The soul cakes started before Christmas tradition in Ireland...
We sing this song at the renaissamxe fair ❤
Soul cakes were given on Halloween or Samhain in autumn....
Can I darn my boot tomorrow
It was a bit slow but still pretty..Its also part Halloween song too...Soul cakes were done in Oct Harvest time.
