lyrics

I once loved a boy and a bonny, bonny boy
Who would come and would go at request.
And this handsome young boy was my pride and my joy,
And I built him a bower in my breast.
I built him a bower in my breast.

And up the long valley and down the green valley,
Like one who was troubled in mind.
I hollered and I whooped and I played upon my flute,
But no bonny boy could I sp.
But no bonny boy could I find.

I sat myself down on a green mossy bank
Where the sun it shone wonderful warm;
And who should I spy but my own bonny boy
Fast locked in some other girl's arms
Fast locked in some other girls’ arms.

Now, the girl who's the joy of my own bonny boy
Let her make of him all that she can
And whether he loves me or whether he don't
I'll walk with that boy now and then
I'll walk with that boy now and then…
