Lyrics
(Irish folk song)
1. Mistress More lives on the shore,
She has daughters three and four,
Eldest one is twenty-four,
Married to a sailor.
Refrain
Baloo, baloo, baloo bee,
Baloo, baloo, baloo bee,
Baloo, baloo, baloo bee,
Married to a sailor
2. When the sailor comes ashore
How they rattle, how they roar,
Happy then is Mistress More
Married to a sailor
