David McAulay - Bluebell, Cockleshell, 123 lyrics

Bluebell, co*kleshell, 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, co*kleshell, 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, co*kleshell, 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, co*kleshell, 1 2 3 Stand at ease, bend your knees The queen didn't 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, co*kleshell, 1 2 3 Stand at ease Bend your knees The queen didn't want me so she sent me to the king The king said close your eyes and count to sixteen Bluebell, co*kleshell, 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
