Bonny Bonny Lyrics
Artist(Band):Cara Dillon
Review The Song (1)Print the Lyrics
Bonny, bonny was my seat in the red rosy yard
And bonny was my ship in the town of Ballynagard
Shade and shelter was for me till I began to fail
You all may guess now my distress lies near the Nightingale

Grief and woe that I must go to fight for England's King
I neither know his friend or foe, and war's a cruel thing
The nightingale is near at hand, my time at home is brief
And Carey's steams and mountain land I part with bitter grief

No more I'll walk the golden hills with Nancy by my side
Or dream along the sun bright rills, or view my land with pride
We sail away at dawn of day, the sails are ready set
When old Benmore I see no more, I'll sigh with deep regret

Now all must change and I must range across the ocean wide
Our ship she may in Biscay's Bay lie low beneath the tide
If I should fall by cannon ball, or sink beneath the sea
Good people all, a tear let fall and mourn for mine and me

If God should spare me my greying hair and bring me back again
I'd love far more my Antrim shore, its dark blue hills and rain
Around the fires, my heart's desires, heaven grant till life shall fail
And keep me far from the cruel war and from the Nightingale
If you find some error in Bonny Bonny Lyrics,
would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You.




Review about Bonny Bonny
This is a great song | Reviewer: Xiang Li | 11/9/2007
    All of Cara Dillon's songs have a deep meaning behind it, but this one touched me most of all. The piano gives it a sense of sadness while the drumming in the back of it gives it the war feel. This song is what you would probably hear if a man was leaving his wife to go to war. This song touched me deeply and i cried after I heard it the first time.
    I'm a big fan of Cara Dillon and I reccomend this song to anyone who is a true fan of her work.
