Bobby Shafto's gone to sea,
Silver buckles at his knee;
He'll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto's bright and fair,
Panning out his yellow hair;
He's my love for evermore,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto's getten a bairn,
For to dangle on his arm;
In his arm and on his knee,
Bobby Shafto loves me.
As I was going to St. Ives,
I met a man with seven wives,
Each wife had seven sacks,
Each sack had seven cats,
Each cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were there going to St. Ives?
As I was going by Charing Cross,
I saw a black man upon a black horse;
They told me it was King Charles the First-
Oh dear, my heart was ready to burst!
A-tisket a-tasket
A green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love
And on the way I dropped it,
I dropped it,
I dropped it,
And on the way I dropped it.
A little boy he picked it up and put it in his pocket.
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can't we all be like that wise old bird?
You put your right mitten in,
You take your right mitten out,
You put your right mitten in,
And you shake it all about!
You wriggle and you wobble and you turn yourself around,
That's what this song's about!
You put your left mitten in,
You take your left mitten out,
You put your left mitten in,
And you shake it all about!
You wriggle and you wobble and you turn yourself around,
That's what this song's about!
When I was one I sucked my thumb,
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship,
And the captain said to me -
We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
Over the Irish Sea,
We're going this way, that way,
Forwards and backwards,
That's the life for me!
When I was two I buckled my shoe,
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship,
And the captain said to me -
We're marching in our wellingtons,
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
Stamp, Stamp, stamp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
Tramp, tramp, tramp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
Stamp, Stamp, stamp!
We're marching in our wellingtons,
We won't get damp!
