TITLE: I'll Go Home with Bonnie Jean
Lyrics and Chords
[Brigadoon]
[ Gdim7 = 
]
I used to be a roving lad
A roving and wandering life I had
On any lass I'd frown
Who would try to tie me down
But then one day I met a maid
Who held out her hand and I stayed and stayed
And now across the green
I'll go home with Bonnie Jean
/ G - - - / / G - C - / G - D7 - /
/ G - - - / / G - - Gdim7 / G D7 G - /
{Refrain}
Go home, go home, go home with Bonnie Jean
Go home, go home, I'll go home with Bonnie Jean
/ G - - - - - D - / G - - Gdim7 G D7 G - /
In Edinburgh I used to know
A lass with an air and her name was Jo
And 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 soon across the green
I'll go home with Bonnie Jean
{Refrain}
Hello to married men I've known
I'll soon have a wife and leave yours alone
A bonnie wife indeed
And she's all I'll ever need
With Bonnie Jean my days will fly
And love her I will 'til the day I die
That's why across the green
I'll go home with Bonnie Jean
{Refrain}
