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 was 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 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, pegging shoes was 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 those 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've ever seen
Throw away my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl

Makes one hundred pairs to my one, peg and awl
Makes one hundred pairs to my one, peg and awl
Makes one hundred pairs to my one, pegging shoes it ain't no fun
Throw away my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my pegs, my awl
