Thread Name: Lyr Req: My Bonnie Boy in Blue
Subject: Lyr Req: Bonny boy in blue
At Dunfermline Folk Club last Wednesday, I was lucky enough to hear Sylvia Barnes for the very first time. What a voice!
Anyway, that aside, she sang a song that she said was Irish and I didn't catch the title, and I didn't catch her to ask her about it either.
The chorus started with the line "Oh dear me" and there was a Johnny involved and the last line of the chorus is something like "My bonny boy in blue". It's a girl singing for her sailor.
I've not found anything in the DigiTrad or Forum, and Google's been precious little help too.
Anyone know the words and/or any recordings of it?
