Bluebell, Cockleshell, 123 Lyrics - From Scotland With Love - 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 

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 

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
