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 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
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 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 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
Peggin' shoes it ain't no fun
Throw away my pegs my pegs my
Pegs my pegs my awl
