Oh come here my little
Jacky now I've
smoked me baccy
let's have a bit o' cracky
till the boat comes in
Dance to the daddy
Sing to the mammy
Dance to the daddy
to the mammy sing
Thou shall have a fishy
on a little dishy
Thou shall have a fishy
when the boat comes in
And here's thy
mother humming
like a canny woman
yonder comes thy father
drunk he cannot stand
Dance to the daddy
Sing to the mammy
Dance to the daddy
to the mammy sing
Thou shall have a fishy
on a little dishy
Thou shall have a fishy
when the boat comes in
Our Tommy's
always fuddling
he's so full of ale
but he's so kind to me
I hope he'll never fail
Dance to the daddy
Sing to the mammy
Dance to the daddy
to the mammy sing
Dance to the daddy
Sing to the mammy
Dance to the daddy
to the mammy sing
hey!
Well I like a drop myself
when I can get it sly
and thou my bonny bairn
will like it as well as I
May we get a bowl
off as we stand in need
well may the keel roll
that brings the bairns
their bread
Dance to the daddy
Sing to the mammy
Dance to the daddy
to the mammy sing
Dance to the daddy
Sing to the mammy
Dance to the daddy
to the mammy sing
Thou shall have a fishy
on a little dishy
Thou shall have a fishy
when the boat comes in
hey!
Thou shall have a fishy
on a little dishy
Thou shall have a fishy
when the bo......at
comes in
