Songs of long ago.

When the Boat Comes In
(Dance to Your Daddy)

England

"'Dance to your Daddy' from Berkshire, England." -Jane

When the Boat Comes In
(Dance to Your Daddy)

Lullaby

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your Daddy, my little man
Thou shalt have a fish, thou shalt have a fin
Thou shalt have a haddock when the boat comes in
Thou shalt have codlin broiled in a pan
Dance to your Daddy, my little man.

Dance to your Daddy, my little laddie
Dance to your Daddy, my little man
When thou art a man fit to take a wife
Thou shalt choose a maid and love her all your life
She shall be your lassie, you shalt be her man
Dance to your Daddy, my little man.
