BOBBY SHAFTOE

Bobby Shaftoe's gone to Sea,
Silver buckles on his knee,
He'll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe.
 
Bobby Shaftoe's bright and fair.
Combing down his yellow hair,
He's my ain for evermair,
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe.
 
Bobby Shaftoe's gettin' a bairn,
For to dangle on his airm,
In his airm and on his knee
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe.
