Dashing Away with the Smoothing Iron

Camptown Races

Hearts of Oak

Songs I remeber from our music lessons at primary school when the teacher wheeled the radio thing into the classroom!

‘Bobby Shaftoe went to sea
Silver buckles at his knee
He’ll come back and marry me
Bonny Bobby Shaftoe.’

I came across an article remembering old songs we used to sing as children. Like Soldier, Soldier (will you marry me?) and What Shall we do with the Drunken Sailor. I was surprised how many of the words came back to me.
Happy memories, my dear Mum used to sing these to me.
