Bobbie Shafto's bright and fair,
Combing down his yellow hair,
He's my ain for evermair,
Hey for Bobbie Shafto.

Bobbie Shafto, went to Court,
All in Gold and Silver Wrought,
Like a Grandee as he ought,
Bonnie Bobbie Shafto.

All the Ribbons flying about,
All the ladies looking out,
Clapping their hands and giving a Shout,
Hurrah for Bobbie Shafto.

Bobbie Shafto rode a race,
Well I mind His bonnie face,
Won it in a tearing pace,
Bonnie Bobbie Shafto.

Bobbie Shafto throws his Gold,
Right and Left like Knights of Old,
Now were left out in the cold,
Bonnie Bobbie Shafto.

Bobbie Shafto's gone to sea,
Wi' silver buckles on his knee.
When he comes back he'll Marry Me.
Bonnie Bobbie Shafto.
