Lyrics
(American folk song)
My true love has gone to France,
For his fortune to advance.
When he returns with him I’ll dance,
Skabibba lala boo and a slow reel.
Refrain
Shoo, shoo, shoo-lye reel,
Shoo-lye shack-a bubba shack-a bubba coo,
Since I saw the silly billa hills,
Skabibba lala boo and a slow reel.
