Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee;
He'll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe!
Bobby Shaftoe's tall and fair,
Combing down his yellow hair
He's my love forevermore,
Bonny 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 tall and slim
Always looks so neat and trim
All the lasses look at him
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe!
Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee;
He'll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe!
