Bluebell, Cockleshell, 123

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3
Stand at ease, bend your knees
Bow to the west, salute to the east
We're all sitting on our mammy's knees

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3
Stand at ease, bend your knees
Salute to the king, bow to the queen
What a lot of fisherwives I can see

Ding dong goes the castle bell
So Fare thee well my mother
Bury me in the old churchyard
Beside my only brother
My coffin shall be black
Six white angels at my back
Two to sing, two to pray
Two to carry my soul away

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3
Stand at ease, bend your knees
Salute to the king, bow to the queen
What a lot of fisherwives I can see

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3
Stand at ease, bend your knees
The queen didnae want me so she sent me to the king
The king said close your eyes and count to sixteen

Ding dong goes the castle bell
Fare thee well my mother
Bury me in the old churchyard
Beside my only brother
My coffin shall be black
Six white angels at my back
Two to sing, two to pray
Two to carry my soul away

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3
Stand at ease, bend your knees
The queen didnae want me so she sent me to the king
The king said close your eyes and count to sixteen

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3
Stand at ease, bend your knees
Bow to the west, salute to the east
We're all sitting on our mammy's knees
