There Is No Rose of Such Virtue
by Sting

Album: If On a Winter's Night

Batteast-Mezzetti-Stookey

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 cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
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.

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 cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
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 that you'll be kind
We hope you will be kind with your apple and strawber'
For we'll come no more a 'soalin' till Xmas time next year.

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 cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.

........................................
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.

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 cake, a soul cake, please, good missus a soul cake
One for Peter, two for Paul, three for Him who made us all.
