Marion Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 "Bobby Shafto's gone to sea, Silver buckles on his knee, He'll come back and marry me, Bonny Bobby Shafto. Bobby Shafto's bright and fair, Combing down his yellow hair; He's my ain for evermair Bonny Bobby Shafto. Bobby Shafto went to court All in gold and silver wrought Like a grandee as he ought Bonny Bobby Shafto. Bobby Shafto rode a race Well I mind his bonny face Won it in a tearing pace Bonny Bobby Shafto. Bobby Shafto throws his gold Right and left like knights of old Now he's left out in the cold Bonny Bobby Shafto. Bobby Shafto's gettin' a bairn For to dangle on his airm In his airm and on his knee Bonny Bobby Shafto."
