W:O wha's like my Johnny,
W:So leith, so blithe, so bonny,
W:He's foremost 'mong the mony
W:Keel lads o' coaly Tyne.
W:He'll set and row so tightly,
W:Or in the dance -so sprightly-
W:He'll cut and shuffle slightly,
W:'Tis true - were he not mine.

W:He wears a blue bonnet,
W:Blue bonnet, blue bonnet,
W:He wears a blue bonnet,
W:Blue bonnet, blue bonnet,
W:A dimple in his chin.
W:O weel may the keel row,
W:The keel row, the keel row,
W:O weel may the keel row,
W:The ship my laddie's in."
