My Bonnie Lyrics

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Won’t somebody please cross the ocean
And bring back My Bonnie to me? (repeat)

Bring back,
Oh bring back,
Oh bring back
My Bonnie to me, to me (repeat)

My Bonnie
Come back Bonnie
My Bonnie
Come back Bonnie

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Won’t somebody please cross the ocean
And bring back My Bonnie to me?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

these lyrics are so simple, but so applicable to the last 4 months of my life. this is a great update of an underappreciated song by The Beatles.
