Brigadoon - I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean lyrics

rate me

I used to be a rovin' lad, a rovin' an' wanderin' life I had<br />

On any lass I'd frown, who would try to tie me down<br />

But then one day, I saw a maid, who held out her hand<br />

An' I stayed an' stayed, an' now across the green<br />

<br />

I'll go home with bonnie Jean<br />

Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean<br />

Go home, go home<br />

I'll go home with bonnie Jean<br />

<br />

In Edinburgh I used to know a lass with an' air, an' her name was Joe<br />

An' every night at ten, I would meet her in the glen<br />

But now I'll not see her again, especially not in the glen, at ten<br />

For now across the green<br />

<br />

I'll go home with bonnie Jean<br />

Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean<br />

Go home, go home<br />

I'll go home with bonnie Jean<br />

<br />

Hello to married men I've known, I'll soon have a wife an' leave yours alone<br />

A bonnie wife indeed, and she's all I'll ever need<br />

With bonnie Jean my days will fly, an' love her I will till the day I die<br />

That's why, across the green<br />

<br />

I'll go home with bonnie Jean<br />

Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean<br />

Go home, go home<br />

I'll go home with bonnie Jean
