My Bonnie (Tony Sheridan and The Beatles) - STING 21612   (Stefan Sidholm)

In 1962, in Hamburg, Germany, The Beatles helped Tony Sheridan to record a record.

It was this record that Brian Epstein was asked to supply, by customers, in Liverpool.

Brian was intrigued to find out who these “Beatles” were - and the rest is history...

My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me

 

Yeah bring back, ah bring back
Oh bring back my Bonnie to me, to me

Oh bring back, oh bring back

Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead

Oh, blow, ye winds over the ocean
Oh, blow, ye winds over the sea
Oh, blow, ye winds over the ocean
And bring back my Bonnie to me

The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
And brought back my Bonnie to me, to me

Brought back, brought back
Brought back my Bonnie to me, to me
Brought back, brought back
They brought back my Bonnie to me
