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

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

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

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
