My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean. the back
“My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean” is a traditional Scottish folk song. It may have its origin in the history of Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, the grandson of the deposed Stuart monarch James II. Many Highland Scots supported Bonnie Prince Charlie’s attempt to restore the Stuarts to the English throne in 1745-46 by invading Scotland and England.
The song was famously arranged and recorded by Tony Sheridan with musical backing by The Beatles (who at the time were a little-known beat combo, and were originally credited as the ‘Beat Brothers’). It has numerous parody versions. For more information on these parody versions, see “My Bonnie Has Tuberculosis”. The first two notes of this song are a Major 6th interval.
The lyrics are as follows:
- 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
- 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
- Bring back, bring back
- Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
- Bring back, bring back
- Bring back my Bonnie to me
- Oh blow ye the winds o’er the ocean
- And blow ye the winds o’er the sea
- Oh blow ye the winds o’er the ocean
- And bring back my Bonnie to me
- Bring back, bring back
- Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
- Bring back, bring back
- Bring back my Bonnie to me
- 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
- Bring back, bring back
- Bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
- Bring back, bring back
- Bring back my Bonnie to me
