My Bonny is over the ocean, 
My Bonny is over the sea,
My Bonny is over the ocean, 
O bring back my Bonny to me!

Bring back, bring back, 
O bring back my Bonny to me, to me;
Bring back, bring back, 
O bring back my Bonny to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow, 
Last night as I lay on my bed,
Last night as I lay on my pillow, 
I dreamed that my Bonny was dead!

Bring back, bring back, 
O bring back my Bonny to me, to me;
Bring back, bring back, 
O bring back my Bonny to me.

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 Bonny to me.

Brought back, brought back, 
O brought back my Bonny to me, to me;
Brought back, brought back, 
O brought back my Bonny to me.
