My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
My Bonnie lies over the sea,
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Oh, blow, ye winds, over the ocean,
And blow, ye winds, over the sea,
And blow, ye winds, over the ocean,
And bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
The winds have blown over the ocean,
The winds have blown over the sea,
The winds have blown over the ocean,
And brought back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
My Bonnie’s complexion was lovely,
Her face, it was beauteous to see ;
One day she got caught in a rainstorm,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
The height of its contents to see ;
I lighted a match to assist her,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
My mother’s an apple-pie maker,
My father, he fiddles for tin,
My sister scrubs floors for a livin’,
Oh boy, how the money rolls in.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
I stuck my feet out of the window,
Next morning the neighbors were dead.
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my neighbors to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my neighbors to me.
My breakfast lies over the ocean,
My luncheon lies over the rail ;
My supper lies in great commotion,
Will someone please bring me a pail ?
Please bring, please bring,
Please bring a pail to me, to me,
Please bring, please bring,
Oh, please bring a pail to me.
Who knows what I had for breakfast,
Who knows what I had for tea ?
Who knows what I had for supper,
Just look out the window and see !
Clams, clams, clams, clams,
Oh, clams and ice cream don’t agree with me !
Clams, clams, clams, clams,
Oh, clams and ice cream don’t agree !
