This is a traditional Scottish folk song which may have its origin in the history of Charles Edward Stuart, commonly known as Bonny Prince Charlie who was the grandson of the deposed Stuart monarch James II. Bonny Prince Charlie attempted to restore the Stuarts to the English throne in 1745-46 by invading Scotland and England. What a nice chap.


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.

However, My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean - which ocean is that? Technically, around the United Kingdom there are only seas. There are some opening German lyrics which are lesser known:

Mein Herz ist bei dir nur, my darling, Mein Herz fand bei dir nur das Glück, Noch trennen uns Länder und Meere, Doch bald kehre ich wieder zurück.
