Dance Ter Yer Daddy (Audio Sample and Lyrics)

Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie lamb
You shall hae a fish and you shall hae a fin
You shall hae a codlin when the boat comes in
You shall hae a haddock baked in a pan
Dance to your Daddy, ma bonnie lamb.

Ahh Ahh

Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie lamb
When yer a young boy, you must sing and play
Go along the shore and cast your shells away
Build yoursel' a castle, watch the tide roll in
Dance to your Daddy, ma bonnie lamb.

Ahh Ahh

Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie lamb
When yer a young man, go unto the trades
Find yoursel' a skill, and wages you'll be paid
Find yoursel' a skill, and wages you'll be paid
Then with all your wages, buy yourself some land

Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh

Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie lamb
When yer a man, go an' take a wife
Find yoursel' a lass and love her all your life
Find yoursel' a lassie and love her all your life
She shall be your wife and you shall be her man

Ahh Ahh

So, Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie laddy
Dance tae yer Daddy, ma bonnie lamb
When yer an old man, father to a son
Sing to him the old songs, sing of all you've done
Pass along the old ways, then let his song begin
Dance to your Daddy, ma bonnie lamb.

Ahh Ahh
Ahh Ahh
