Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 18
BRING BACK MY BONNIE TO ME
Copyright, 1882, by T. B. Harms & Co.
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 angel's I see!
And, still do I sigh in my dreaming;
Oh! bring back my bonnie to me!
Chorus.
Bring back bring back,
Bring back my love o'er the sea!
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my love o'er the sea!
Bring back, bring back,
Bring back my bonnie to me!
Bring back, bring back,
Bring buck my bonnie to me!
He left me when roses were failing,
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.-Chorus.
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 forever!
Oh! bring back my bonnie to me.-Chorus.
