Bobby Shafto

Bobby Shafto's gone to sea,

Silver buckles on his knee;

He'll come back and marry me,

Bonny Bobby Shafto!

Bobby Shafto's bright and fair,

Combing down his yellow hair;

He's my love forevermore,

Bonny Bobby Shafto!

Bobby Shafto's looking out,

All his ribbons flew about,

All the ladies gave a shout,

Hey for Bobby Shafto!
