I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean 1947 'Brigadoon'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 08 Mar 2004

I used to be a rovin' lad;
a rovin' an' wandering 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.
And 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!

I used to have a hundred friends;
but when ye are wedded the friendship ends.
They never come to call,
so farewell to one an' all.
Farewell to all the lads I knew;
I'll see them again when they're married too.
For soon, 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!

In Aberdeen I used to know
a lass with an air an' her name was Jo;
an' ev'ry 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!

No more of dreary hours I've known;
I'll soon have a wife of my very own.
A bonnie wife indeed,
an' 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 go home with bonnie Jean!
