| 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. | |
