robbie o’connell - bobby's britches lyrics

Loading...

as bobby was out for a stroll one day
twas down by the river he happened to stray
and some of his friends were having a swim
so he took of his clothes and he jumped right in

he swam and he dived like a water hen
all around by the islands and back again
he lay down on the sand to dry his skin
and he never noticed the tide coming in

and bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
the water came in and just swept them aside
bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
what is he going too do, oh?

and when he got up he thought all was well
was six o clock, he could hear the bell
was time to be heading back home to tea
but his britches was now gone halfway to the sea

and not being one to admit to defeat
a message was sent home to william street
there a head appeared from the bedroom window
and these words came up from the street below:

bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
he just couldn’t catch them however he tried
bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
what is he going too do, oh?
but meanwhile fate had taken a hand
two old mates came walking along the strand
not wishing to be a witness to sin
they gave him a coat to cover his skin

and bobby went home and he hadn’t a care
and all the people came out to stare
it seemed as if the whole town had come out
and the woman next door she began to shout:

bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
and bobby’s gone into the bushes to hide
bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
what is he going too do, oh?

and now this story has reached an end
no harm was done and the lesson was learned
and bobby still likes to go out for a swim
but he always brings his spare britches with him

and the years came on and they passed away
but no+one will ever forget that day
for every night that the moon was high
the woman next+door could be heard to cry:

and bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
the water came in and just swept them aside
bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
what is he going too do, oh?
and bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
and bobby’s gone into the bushes to hide
bobby’s britches gone off in the tide
what is he going too do, oh?
