My Bonnie lies over the ocean, my Bonnie lies over the sea,
|
My Bonnie lies over the ocean, O bring back my Bonnie to me.
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me, to me:
|
Bring back, bring back, O bring back my Bonnie to me.
|
|
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
|
O blow ye winds over the sea.
|
O blow ye winds over the ocean,
|
And bring back my Bonnie to me.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
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.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
|
The height of its contents to see,
|
I lit a small match to assist her,
|
O Bring back my Bonnie to me.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
|
Last night as I lay on my bed,
|
I stuck my feet out of the window,
|
In the morning the neighbors were dead.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
My mother makes beer in the bathtub,
|
My father makes synthetic gin,
|
My sister makes fudge for a quarter,
|
Wouldja believe how the money rolls in?
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
My mother, she drowned in the bathtub,
|
My father, he died from his gin,
|
My sister choked on her chocolate,
|
My stars, what a fix I am in.
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
I tried making beer in the bathtub,
|
I tried making synthetic gin,
|
I tried making fudge for a living,
|
Now look at the shape that I'm in.
