Peg and Awl

In the days of eighteen and one, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and one, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and one
Pegging shoes is all I done
Hand me down my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

In the days of eighteen and two, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and two, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and two
Pegging shoes is all you do
Hand me down my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

In the days of eighteen and three, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and three, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and three
Pegging shoes is all you see
Hand me down my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

In the days of eighteen and four, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and four, peg and awl
In the days of eighteen and four,
I said I'd peg them shoes no more
Throw away my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

They've invented a new machine, peg and awl
They've invented a new machine, peg and awl
They've invented a new machine,
Prettiest little thing you ever seen
Throw away my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

Make one hundred pair to my one, peg and awl
Make one hundred pair to my one, peg and awl
Make one hundred pair to my one
Pegging shoes it ain't no fun
Throw away my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

Some shoemaker! Lazy shoemaker!
