My Bonny Boy Lyrics by Anne Briggs

The Hazards of Love

0

[Verse 1]
I once loved a boy and a bonny bonny boy
Who would come and would go at request
And this handsome young boy was my pride and my joy
And I built him a bower in my breast
And I built him a bower in my breast

[Verse 2]
Well, up the long alley and down the green valley
Like one that was troubled in mind
I hollered and I whooped and I played upon my flute
But no bonny boy could I find
But no bonny boy could I find

[Verse 3]
I sat myself down on a green, mossy bank
Where the sun, it shone wonderful warm
And who did I spy but my own bonny boy
Fast locked in some other girl's arms
Fast locked in some other girl's arms

[Verse 4]
Well, the girl that's the joy of my own bonny boy
Let her make of him all that shе can
And whether he lovеs me or whether he don't
I'll walk with that boy now and then
I'll walk with that boy now and then
