Bobby Shaftoe's gone to sea,
silver buckles at his knee;

He'll come back and marry me,
bonny Bobby Shaftoe.

Chorus:
Bobby Shaftoe's bright and fair,
combing down his yellow hair,

He's my ain for ever mair,
bonny Bobby Shaftoe

Bobby Shaftoe's tall and slim,
he's always dressed so neat and trim,

The lassies they all keek at him,
bonny Bobby Shaftoe...CHORUS


Bobby Shaftoe's gett'n a bairn,
for to dandle on his airm,

On his airm and on his knee,
Bobby Shaftoe loves me...CHORUS
