When the Boat Comes In
(Dance to Your Daddy)
"'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.

Jane wrote, "I sing a lot of lullabies and play harp. If you are interested, my website is called Mountain Streams Music. I have a YouTube song "Lullaby Garden" that I wrote about 20 years ago! A lot of people like it."
