Song: Going Over the Sea

  • Print

When I was one I ate a bun,
Going over the sea.
I jumped aboard a sailorman’s ship
And the sailorman said to me:
Going over, going under,
Stand at attention, like a soldier,
With a one, two, three.

When I was two I buckled my shoe,
Going over the sea.
I jumped aboard a sailorman’s ship
And the sailorman said to me:
Going over, going under,
Stand at attention, like a soldier,
With a one, two, three.
