Tony Sheridan & The Beat Brothers (The Beatles) - My Bonnie
Copyright - 1995 EMI Records Ltd.
"My Bonnie Lies over the Ocean" is a traditional Scottish folk song. It may have its origin in the history of Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as Bonnie Prince Charlie, the grandson of the deposed Stuart monarch James II. Many Highland Scots supported Bonnie Prince Charlie's attempt to restore the Stuarts to the English throne in 1745-46 by invading Scotland and England.
The song was famously arranged and recorded by Tony Sheridan with musical backing by The Beatles featuring Pete Best on drums (who at the time were a little-known beat combo, and were originally credited as the 'Beat Brothers').
Lyrics:
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.
My Bonnie lies over the ocean,
my Bonnie lies over the sea.
Well my Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Yeah bring back my Bonnie to me.
Yeah bring back, ah bring back,
oh bring back my Bonnie to me to me.
Oh bring back, oh bring back,
oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
Well my Bonnie lies over the ocean,
my Bonnie lies over the sea.
Yeah my Bonnie lies over the ocean.
Oh I said bring back my Bonnie to me.
Yeah bring back, ah bring back,
oh bring back my Bonnie to me to me.
Oh bring back, ah bring back,
oh bring back my Bonnie to me.
