Bring Back My Bonnie to Me lyrics

My bonnie lies out on the ocean

While sadly I wait on the shore

He wander'd away o'er the billow

I'm longing to see him once more!

He comes to my heart in bright visions

His face like an angels I see

And, still do I sigh in my dreaming:

Oh! bring back my bonnie to me!

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my love o'er the sea!

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my bonnie to me!

He left me when roses were fading

To bid me farewell, for a while

My heart is so weary and lonely

Bereft of his beautiful smile

I stray where the billows are dashing

And wonder where now he can be

My heart to the waves ever whispers:

Oh! bring back my bonnie to me!

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my love o'er the sea!

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my bonnie to me!

Then, darling one, can you forsake me?

My life is so weary and lone!

Oh! send me a word o'er the water

And say you are ever my own!

In sorrow and tears I'm repining

And sad is my watch by the sea

My darling, my dear one for ever!

Oh! bring back my bonnie to me!

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my love o'er the sea!

Bring back, bring back

Bring back my bonnie to me!
