Shule, shule, shule-a-roo, |
|
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo. |
|
When i saw my sally babby beal, |
|
Come bibble in the boo shy lorey. |
|
|
|
Here i sit on buttermilk hill; |
|
Who could blame me, cry my fill; |
|
Every tear would turn a mill, |
|
Johnny's gone for a soldier. |
|
|
|
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo, |
|
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo. |
|
When i saw my sally babby beal, |
|
Come bibble in the boo shy lorey. |
|
|
|
I sold my flax, i sold my wheel, |
|
To buy my love a sword of steel; |
|
So it in battle he might wield, |
|
Johnny's gone for a soldier. |
|
|
|
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo, |
|
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo. |
|
When i saw my sally babby beal, |
|
Come bibble in the boo shy lorey. |
|
|
|
Oh my baby, oh, my love, |
|
Gone the rainbow, gone the dove. |
|
Your father was my only love; |
|
Johnny's gone for a soldier. |
|
|
|
Shule, shule, shule-a-roo, |
|
Shule-a-rak-shak, shule-a-ba-ba-coo. |
|
When i saw my sally babby beal, |
|
Come bibble in the boo shy lorey. |
