My Bonny Boy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I on[C]ce lov[Em]ed a boy and a bonnie,
[C]bonnie boy
[Em]Who woul[C]d come and would
go at re[D]quest
[Em]And this hands[G]ome youn[C]g boy
was [Em]my pride [G]an [C]d my joy
[Em]An d[C] I built him[Em]
a bower in my [C]breast,
[Em]And I built him a bower
[D]in [Em]my breast.[Am]
[Em]Well, [C]up the lon[Em]g alley
and down the [C]green [Em]valley,
like [C]one that was troubled in [D]mind,
[Em]I ho[C]llered and I hooped
And [Em]I played [C]upon [G]my [C]flute,
But no [Em]bonnie boy [E]could [C]I find[D] ,[E]
[C]But [Em]no bonnie bo[D]y could I fi[Am]nd.[D]
[Em]I sa[C]t myself dow[A]n on[C] a green mossy ban[Em]k,
[C]where the sun it shone wonderful [D]warm.
[Em]And [C]who did I spy but [Em]my own b[C]unny b[Em]oy f[C]ast
[Em]locked in some [C]other girl's arm[Em]s, fast locked
in some other [D]girl's [Em]arm s[Am].
[Em]Well[D], the girl[C] who's the joy[D]
[Em]of m[C]y own bonny bo[Em]y,
[D]let her [C]make of him all that [D]she can,
[Em]and whether he[G] loves[C] me[Em]
Oh, whether he don't,
[C]I'll [Em]walk with that boy now and then.
I'll walk with that boy [D]now [Em]and then.
