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
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
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
