O’er The Ocean

The fairest boy I ever saw
Courted me upon the shore
His hair was black his eyes were green
The fairest boy I ever saw

O’er the ocean o’er the sea
Bring my bonny boy back to me
O’er the ocean o’er the sand
Bring my bonny boy back to land.

I wish I were a flying dove
I’d take the air and find my love
And ask the moon and stars for light
To guide me to his arms tonight.

O’er the ocean o’er the sea
Bring my bonny boy back to me
O’er the ocean o’er the sand
Bring my bonny boy back to land.

I’ll watch the waves I’ll watch the sky 
Until I see his boat sail by
And when at last he steps ashore
We’ll dance beneath the stars once more.

O’er the ocean o’er the sea
Bring my bonny boy back to me
O’er the ocean o’er the sand
Bring my bonny boy back to land.

O’er the ocean o’er the sea
Bring my bonny boy back to me
O’er the ocean o’er the sand
Bring my bonny boy back to land.
