The Keel Row

As I came through Sandgate,

Through Sandgate, through Sandgate,

As I came through Sandgate,

I heard a lassie sing -

‘O, weel may the keel row

The keel row, the keel row,

O, weel may the keel row

That my laddie's in.

And weel may the keel row,

The keel row, the keel row,

And weel may the keel row

That my laddie's in.'

‘He wears a blue bonnet,

Blue bonnet, blue bonnet,

He wears a blue bonnet

A dimple in his chin.

And weel may the keel row,

The keel row, the keel row,

And weel may the keel row

That my laddie's in.

And weel may the keel row,

The keel row, the keel row,

And weel may the keel row

That my laddie's in.'
