Now once I was courted by a bonny, bonny boy,
I loved him I vow and confess;
I loved him so well, so very, very well,
That I built him a bower in my breast,
That I built him a bower in my breast.
Now up the green alley and down the long alley,
Like the one that was troubled in mind,
I called and I did hoot and played upon my lute,
But no bonny, bonny boy could I find,
But no bonny, bonny boy could I find.
Now I looked to the east and I looked to the west,
Where the sun it showed wonderful warm,
But who should I spy but my bonny, bonny boy,
He was locked in another girl's arms,
He was locked in another girl's arms.
Now the girl that's the joy of my bonny, bonny boy,
I'm sure she is never to blame,
Though many a long night she has robbed me of my rest,
She never shall do it again,
She never shall do it again.
