Bye, baby bunting / One for sorrow lyrics

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

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
