Thread Name: Lyr Req: My bonnie-version by Canadian Laura Smith
Subject: Lyr Add: MY BONNIE
My Bonnie lies over the ocean. My Bonnie lies over the sea.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean. Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

CHORUS: Bring back, bring back, bring back my bonnie to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back, oh, bring back my bonnie to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow, last night as I lay on my bed,
Las night as I lay on my pillow, I dreamed that my Bonnie was dead.

The winds have blown over the ocean. The winds have blown over the sea.
The winds have blown over the ocean, and brought back my Bonnie to me.

That's all I have. There are probably plenty of songs with verses you could swipe and add to the above. I'd be really surprised if it hasn't been done already. The above arrangement is by Albert Brumley (he wrote I'll Fly Away, Turn Your Radio On, and lots of others) and is from his book Songs of the Pioneers. You can buy all his songbooks in the gift shops along the Blue Ridge Parkway.
