Hot Cross Buns and Other Old Street Cries

Street cries were the way people sold their wares in the days before advertising, newspapers, TV and radio. This collection from Old England has cries for selling beans, mutton pies, crabs, Seville oranges and more to play and sing. Does anyone remember "Hot cross buns, Hot cross buns, One a penny, two a penny, Hot cross buns!"?
