My
Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
(Version 2)
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!
