Bob by Shaf to’s gone to sea, sil ver buck les on his knee.
He’ll come back and mar ry me, bon ny Bob by Shaf to.
Bob by Shaf to’s bright and fair, comb ing down his yel low hair.
He’s my own for ev er more, bon ny Bob by Shaf to.
Bob by Shaf to’s gone to sea, sil ver buck les on his knee.
He’ll come back and mar ry me, bon ny Bob by Shaf to.
