Lyrics for Bye Baby Bunting
Bye, baby Bunting,
Daddy’s gone a-hunting,
Gone to get a rabbit skin
To wrap the baby Bunting.
Bye, baby Bunting,
Daddy’s gone a-hunting,
Gone to get a lamb skin
To wrap the baby Bunting.
Bye, O baby bunting
Daddy’s gone a hunting
A rosy wisp of cloud to win
To wrap his baby bunting
