Bobby Shaftoe
Bobby Shaftoe is a traditional English tune and nursery rhyme that is widely known in North East England, particularly associated with the politician Robert Shafto of Whitworth. Written in 2/4 meter and set in the key of G major, it functions as a lively polka with a bright, bouncy character suited to traditional dancing. Because its exact historical composition date and original creator remain unverified, the melody is best understood as a traditional folk piece passed down through generations.
