Bluebell, Cockleshell, 123 - King Creosote

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3

Stand at ease, bend your knees

Bow to the west, salute to the east

We’re all sitting on our mammy’s knees

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3

Stand at ease, bend your knees

Salute to the king, bow to the queen

What a lot of fisherwives I can see

Ding dong goes the castle bell

So Fare thee well my mother

Bury me in the old churchyard

Beside my only brother

My coffin shall be black

Six white angels at my back

Two to sing, two to pray

Two to carry my soul away

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3

Stand at ease, bend your knees

Salute to the king, bow to the queen

What a lot of fisherwives I can see

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3

Stand at ease, bend your knees

The queen didnae want me so she sent me to the king

The king said close your eyes and count to sixteen

Ding dong goes the castle bell

Fare thee well my mother

Bury me in the old churchyard

Beside my only brother

My coffin shall be black

Six white angels at my back

Two to sing, two to pray

Two to carry my soul away

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3

Stand at ease, bend your knees

The queen didnae want me so she sent me to the king

The king said close your eyes and count to sixteen

Bluebell, Cockleshell, 1 2 3

Stand at ease, bend your knees

Bow to the west, salute to the east

We’re all sitting on our mammy’s knees
