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
Peggin' shoes was all I done
Hand me down my pegs, my peg, 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
Peggin' shoes was all I'd 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
Peggin' shoes is all you'd 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
Peggin' shoes, it ain't no fun
Throw away my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

Some shoemaker!
