I'll Go Home with Bonnie Jean
Van Johnson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A rovin' an' wanderin' life I had.
On any lass I'd frown, who would try to tie me down.
But then one day, I saw a maid,
Who held out her hand, an' I stayed an' stayed.
An' now across the green, I'll go home with Bonnie Jean.
Go home, go home, go home with Bonnie Jean!
I'll go home with Bonnie Jean!
In Edinburgh I used to know a lass with an' air, an' her name was Jo;
An' every night at ten, I would meet her in the glen.
But now I'll not see her again. Especially not in the glen, at ten.
For now across the green, I'll go home with Bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home, go home with Bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home.
I'll go home with Bonnie Jean!
Hello to married men I've known; I'll soon have a wife an' leave yours alone.
A Bonnie wife indeed, and she's all I'll ever need.
With Bonnie Jean my days will fly;
An' love her I will till the day I die.
That's why, across the green, I'll go home with Bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home, go home with Bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home,
I'll/He'll go home with Bonnie Jean!
The lyrics of Van Johnson's song 'I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean' talks about a man who used to live a roving and wandering life, without any interest in being tied down to any woman. However, he meets a maid one day who beckons him to stay, and he does not leave. The man now plans to go home with Bonnie Jean because he has finally found someone who will make him feel settled and happy. In the second verse, he talks about a lass named Jo he used to know in Edinburgh, but that is in the past because he has found his Bonnie Jean. He goes on to say that he is leaving his roving and wandering days behind because he is getting married to Bonnie Jean.
However, the lyrics also seem to indicate something more personal and meaningful than just simply finding someone to settle down with. The song reveals that the man has finally found love and happiness and that he has discovered something that he would cherish all his life. The lyrics suggest that 'Bonnie Jean' is not just a woman, but an embodiment of home, family, and love, and the man is happy and content. The song ends with the man saying the phrase "go home with Bonnie Jean" repeatedly, implying that he is committed to staying with her no matter what.

Brigadoon
Deep within the highland mist
The echo’s of a magical tune
A Scottish lilt called Brigadoon.
Once a century it calls your name
The village from the mystic past
Enchantment blessed, heaven sent
True love for ever that always lasts.
Just one chance you are gifted to see
Brigadoon the village of eternity
Partake of goodness for ever more
As you cross over the bridge of Doon.
Shrouds of mist will cover your tracts
Brigadoon has captured your heart
Love and kindness, all heavens gifts
For the world you left
Will not be missed.

A real pick me up anytime. My name is Bonne Jeanne, named after the play, born months after it opened on Broadway in 1947. My parents were named Charles and Jean, like the two main characters in the play. The movie came out in 1954, which we are watching here.
@scotland638
You were lucky, it was meant to be set in Germany. So you might have had a German name instead of a nice Scottish one.
@janisjohnson1757
That is lovely that you were named Bonnie Jeanne and your parents were the names of the characters. ❤
@maxwellsfreak
So cool Bonnie, it's a great name
@nyantaboomadevelopmentinit5878
Watched the film for my Music class at college in the early 90s. Go Home With Bonnie Jean has been in my head till now! And will forever be!

Terrific!😊

Gene Kelly and Van Johnson holding that note simultaneously at 2:35 followed by their stunned reactions and congratulatory handshake is one of the most underrated and funniest moments in the history of movie musicals.
@johncotton5561
yes indeed. They were both fabulous tap dancers in this scene. Van Johnson was just as good as Gene Kelly.
@gailwilliams2678
They're on the same note, so not harmonizing - but holding a nice long note deserves the congratulatory glance!

@@gailwilliams2678 lol my mistake, musical vocab isn’t really my thing - thanks for the correction :)
