[Verse 1]
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean, well yeah
Why don't you bring (bring her back)
Bring her (bring her back)
Well now (bring her back)
You oughta bring back
Bring my Bonnie back to me
(My Bonnie back to me)

I said bring (Bring back)
Bring her back right now (Bring back)
Come on and bring back
Bring my Bonnie back to me
Oh oh oh bring (Bring back)
Bring her back please now (Bring back)
Well bring back

[Verse 2]
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Well let me tell you now
You know I dreamed (Yes I did)
Well I dreamed (Yes I did)
Oh I dreamed now (Yes I did)
Oh I dreamed (Yes I did)
You know I dreamed that
Dreamed my little Bonnie was dead
(My little Bonnie was dead)
[Chorus]
I said bring (Bring back)
Come on, sing it, sugar (Bring back)
Yeah bring back

Oh oh oh bring it back (Bring back)

(My Bonnie back to me)
