GUEST,django Origins: My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean (82* d) RE: 'My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean' History? 26 Dec 01


I remember being sung to sleep by my godfather with "My Bonnie", complete with ukulele accompaniment. This was in the late 1950s, in Hamburg, Germany, which, along with Chris Amos' post, leads me to believe that there must have been a popular recorded version in the 50s. That the song has music-hall roots surely seems more likely than the Jacobite theory.
