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.
Chorus:
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me. (rep.)
I gave to my Bonnie a locket,
I gave her an evergreen tree,
My Bonnie, she made me a promise,
That she'd be returning to me.
(Chorus)
The north wind blows cold
on the ocean,
The south wind blows warm on the sea,
The east wind blows wild, but the west wind,
Will bring back my Bonnie to me.
(Chorus)
