My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea

I see you crying
See the pattern
They come and go
Leave you shattered
You've shed for so many untrue

Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
No one asked you to

They don't deserve your priceless tears
You will whisper
Fill your ears
A reflection of a love long due

Can you cry for a shadow?
Can you cry for a heart crying out for you?
Can you cry for a shadow?
I cried for a few

Can you cry?
Dry the tears and try

Now stop crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears

When you're crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a heart crying out for you
When you're crying for a shadow
Like I cried for you

Can you cry?
Dry the tears and try

Now stop your crying
It doesn't matter
Just lean closer
So I can gather
Every drop of your precious tears

When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying for a shadow
When you're crying for a shadow
Crying, crying
Like I cried for you

Way down upon the Suwannee River
Far, far away
There’s where my heart is turning ever
There’s where the old folks stay
All up and down the whole creation
Sadly I roam
Still longing for my childhood station
And for the old folks at home

All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
O dear ones, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home

All ‘round the little farm I wander’d
When I was young;
Then many happy days I squander’d
Many the songs I sung
When I was playing with my brother
Happy was I
Oh, take me to my kind old mother
There let me live and die

All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
O dear ones, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home

One little hut among the bushes
One that I love
Still sadly to my memory rushes
No matter where I rove
When will I see the bees a humming
All ‘round the comb?
When shall I hear the banjo strumming
Down in my good old home

All the world is sad and dreary
Everywhere I roam
O dear ones, how my heart grows weary
Far from the old folks at home

Oh, when the saints go marching in
Oh, when the saints go marching in
Dear Lord, I want to be in that number
When the saints go marching in

Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
Oh, when the sun refuse to shine
Dear Lord I want to be in that number
When the sun refuse to shine

Oh when they crown Him Lord of all
Oh when they crown Him Lord of all
Dear Lord, I want to be in that number
When they crown Him Lord of all

Oh, when they gather 'round the throne
Oh, when they gather 'round the throne
Dear Lord, I want to be in that number
When they gather 'round the throne

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping
I dreamt I held you in my arms
When I awoke, dear, I was mistaken
So I hung my head, and I cried

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

I'll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You'll regret it all one day

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are grey
You never know, dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away

Please don't take my sunshine away

Doo-n' doo-n' doo,
Doo-n' doo-n' doo,
Doo-n' doo-n' doo doo ooh.
Why, why can't you love me again?
Why, why are you shamed of love?
If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me again?

Why, why don't you open your heart?
Why, why are we so far apart?
If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me again?

I just want your lovin' arms about me, yeah,
I've gotta find a way to make you take me back,
Baby, won't you tell me
Why, why, why, why are we so far apart?

Why, why don't you open your heart?
If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me again?
I just want your lovin' arms about me, yeah,

I've gotta find a way to make you take me back,
Baby, won't you tell me
Why, why, why, why are we so far apart?
Why, why don't you open your heart?

If you only knew how much i love you,
Why can't you love me,
Why can't you love me,
Why can't you love me again?
