My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean

Melody - Melody -

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,
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 dreamt that my Bonnie was dead.
Refrain:

The Heather is blooming around me,
The blossoms of Spring now appear,
The meadows with green'ry surround me,
Oh Bonnie, I wish you were here.
Refrain:

Oh blow, ye winds, over the ocean
Oh blow, ye winds, over the sea
Oh blow, ye winds, over the ocean
And bring back my Bonnie to me.
Refrain:


This song is said to be dedicated to Bonnie George Campbell, a 19th century Scottish hero
