John McDermott - My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean songtekst
Over deze songtekst:
Een traditioneel Schots lied.
Er is een aardige parodie op dit lied gemaakt. Die is als volgt:
My Bonnie leaned over the gas tank,
The height of its contents to see,
I lit a small match to assist her,
O Bring back my Bonnie to me.
Bring back, bring back
Oh, 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,
I stuck my feet out of the window,
In the morning the neighbors were dead.
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean,
My Bonnie Lies over the Sea,
My Daddy laid over my Mommy,
And that's how I came to be.
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
My mother, she drowned in the bathtub,
My father, he died from his gin,
My sister choked on her chocolate,
My stars, what a fix I am in.
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
I tried making beer in the bathtub,
I tried making synthetic gin,
I tried making fudge for a living,
Now look at the shape that I'm in
My Bonnie lies over the ocean My Bonnie lies over the sea My Bonnie lies over the ocean Bring back my Bonnie 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 dreamt that my Bonnie was dead Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me Oh, blow, ye winds over the ocean Blow, ye winds over the sea Oh, blow, ye winds over the ocean And bring back my Bonnie to me Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me Bring back, bring back Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
