lyrics

In eighteen hundred one, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred one, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred one, pegging shoes was all I done
I’m gonna lay me down my awl
My peg and awl

In eighteen hundred two, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred two, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred two, pegging shoes is all I do
I’m gonna lay me down my awl, my peg and awl

In eighteen hundred three, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred three, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred three, pegging shoes is all you’ll see
I’m gonna lay me down my awl, my peg and 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, I peg one shoe it pegs fifteen
I can’t work no more, lay down my awl, my peg and awl

In eighteen hundred four, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred four, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred four, pegging shoes you’ll see no more
I gotta lay me down my awl, my peg and awl
I gotta lay me down…

In eighteen hundred one, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred one, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred one, pegging shoes was all I done
Now there ain't no work for me, I gotta lay me down...

Now I'm singing for my supper, peg and awl
Now I'm singing for my supper, peg and awl
In eighteen hundred one, pegging shoes was all I done...
