My Bonnie is over the ocean,
My Bonnie is over the sea,
My Bonnie is over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me.

My Bonnie is over the sea (sea)
My Bonnie is over the ocean (ocean)
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back,

Bring back, bring back,

My Bonnie is over the ocean (ocean)
My Bonnie is over the sea (sea)
My Bonnie is over the ocean (ocean)
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back,

Bring back, bring back,
oh, bring back my Bonnie to me!

My Bonnie is over the ocean (ocean)
My Bonnie is over the sea (sea)

@HarleyQuinn4life

is it wrong im 25 and like it so much im singing along ( with earbuds in ) and i always knew the song as " My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean " and not " My Bonnie IS Over the Ocean " lmao.

@asicsjohnson

You're not remembering it wrong, buddy. "My Bonnie LIES Over the Ocean" are the correct lyrics (and the title) in the actual song. I wanna say this DJ is probably, like, Norwegian or something, and it just kinda got lost in translation. Still catchy af, though!
