text: 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
  Johnnys 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
  Johnnys gone for a soldierOh my baby, oh, my love
  Gone the rainbow
  Gone the dove
  Your father was my only love
  Johnnys gone for a soldierShule, shule, shule-a-roo
  Gone the rainbow
  Gone the dove
  Shule, shule, shule-a-rooShule, 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
