lyrics

In eighteen-hundred-one, peg and awl
In eighteen-hundred-one, peg and awl
In eighteen-hundred-one, peggin' shoes was all I'd done
I'ma 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, peggin' shoes was all I'd do
I'ma 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, peggin' shoes was all you'd see
I'ma 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'ma gonna lay me 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, peggin' shoes I'll do no more
I'ma gonna lay me down my awl, my peg and awl
