I'll Go Home With Bonnie Jean

I used to be a rovin' lad
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!
Go home, go home.

I used to have a hundred friends, but when we are wedded the friendship ends
They never come to call, so farewell to one and 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 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'll 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.
[ALL] I'll go home with bonnie Jean!
