Full Lyrics
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 gone to sea,
Silver buckles on his knee,
He’ll come back and marry me
Hurrah for Bobby Shaftoe!
