My Bonnie lies over the ocean – Shanty

Text: Traditional

My Bonny is over the ocean my Bonny is over the sea,
my Bonny is over the ocean, oh bring back my bonny to me.

Refrain
Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonny 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 Bonny was dead.

Refrain

The winds have gone over the ocean, the winds have gone over the sea,
the winds have gone over the ocean, and brought back my Bonny to me.

Brought back, brought back, oh brought back my Bonny to me, to me.
Brought back, brought back, oh brought back my Bonny to me.
