Bye Baby Bunting

Bye, baby bunting
Daddy’s gone a hunting
To get a little rabbit skin
To wrap his baby bunting in

Bye, baby bunting
Daddy’s gone a hunting
To get a little lambie skin
To wrap his baby bunting in

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
And four for a boy
Five for silver
And six for gold
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told
Eight for a letter over the sea
Nine for a lover as true as can be

Bye, baby bunting
Daddy’s gone a hunting
A rosy wisp of cloud to win
To wrap his baby bunting in
Bye, baby bunting
Mummy’s gone a-milking,
Sister’s gone a-silking,
Brother’s gone to buy a skin

One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
And four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret,
Never to be told
Eight for a letter over the sea
Nine for a lover as true as can be

Bye, baby bunting
Daddy’s gone a hunting
To fetch a little rabbit skin
To wrap his baby bunting in
