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 going to lay me down my oh 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 going to lay me down my oh 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 see
I'm going to lay me down my oh 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'm going to lay me down my oh my peg and awl

In eighteen hundred four peg and awl
In eighteen hundred four peg and awl
In eighteen hundred four pegging shoes I'll do no more
I'm going to lay me down my oh my peg and awl
