History

"My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean" The origin of the song is unknown, though it is often suggested that the subject of the song may be Charles Edward Stuart ('Bonnie Prince Charlie').

    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

    REFRAIN:
    Bring back, bring back
    Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
    Bring back, bring back
    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

    REFRAIN

    Oh blow the winds o'er the ocean
    And blow the winds o'er the sea
    Oh blow the winds o'er the ocean
    And bring back my Bonnie to me

    REFRAIN

    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

    REFRAIN
