Thread Name: Origins: Bogie's Bonny Belle
Subject: Tune Add: BELLES'S BONNIE BOGIE
The (defective) version of Belle's Bonnie Bogie that I posted 27 May 00 - 04:21 PM has made its way into the DT. Unfortunately that was done from memory, and I conflated verses 4 and 6, and totally omitted verse 11.

I later posted a corrected version 28 Sep 01 - 06:06 PM, but these corrections have not got into DT.

The song is on Mmario's Missing Tunes List. The tune is not the same as the one in DT for Bogie's Bonnie Belle, but is substantially the same as the one used by Finbar & Eddie Furey for that song. Here's an ABC (using the corrected version).
