I’ll Go Home with Bonnie Jean Ross Lekites

[CHARLIE]
I used to be a rovin' lad
A rovin' and 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 and I stayed and stayed
And now across the green
I'll go home with bonnie Jean

[TOWNSFOLK]
Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean
Go home, go home

[CHARLIE]
I'll go home with bonnie Jean

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
