I used to be a rovin' lad.
|
A rovin' an' wanderin' life I had.
|
On any lass I'd frown, who would try to tie me down.
|
But then one day, I saw a maid,
|
Who held out her hand, an' I stayed an' stayed.
|
An' now across the green, I'll go home with bonnie Jean.
|

Go home, go home, go homw with bonnie Jean!
|
Go home, go home.

I'll go home with bonnie Jean!
|
In Edinburgh I used to know a lass with an' air, an' her name was Jo;
|
An' every night at ten, I would meet her in the glen.
|
But now I'll not see her again. Especially not in the glen, at ten.
|
For now across the green, I'll go home with bonnie Jean!
|
|
Townsfolk
|
Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean!
|
Go home, go home.
|
|
Charlie
|
I'll go home with bonnie Jean!
|
Hello to married men I've known; I'll soon have a wife an' leave yours alone.
|
A bonnie wife indeed, and she's all I'll ever need.
|
With bonnie Jean my days will fly;
|
An' love her I will till the day I die.
|
That's why, across the green, I'll go home with bonnie Jean!
|
|
Townsfolk
|
Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean!
|
Go home, go home,
|
|
Charlie and Townsfolk
|
I'll/He'll go home with bonnie Jean!
