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, oh bring back my Bonnie to me
to me. Bring back, oh bring back, bring back
my Bonnie to me.
(actions: Start by standing. On the first 'b' word sit or stoop, on the second 'b' word stand and so on going faster
all the time.)
-Variations to the same tune-
1. Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay on my bed,
I stuck my feet out the window,
Nexy
morning my neighbors were dead.
Bring back, oh bring back, bring back my neighbors to me, to me.
Bring back, oh bring
back, bring back my neighbors to me.
2. My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank, The height of its contents to see,
I lighted a m atch to assist her, oh bring
back my Bonnie to me.
(chorus same as original verse)
3.My ssiter lies under the auto, my sister lies under the car.
Oh please send someone to help her, 'cause its lonesome
out here where I are.
Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my sister to me. (repeat)
4. My breakfast lies over the ocean, My lunch lies over the rail.
My supper lies in great connection, will someone
please bring me a pail?
Please bring, Please bring Please bring a pail to me, to me (repeat)
5. Who knows what I had fro breakfast? Who knows what I had for tea?
Who knows what I had for supper? Just look out
the window and see.
Clams, clams calms, clams, clams and ice cream don't agree with me. (repeat)
