I'll Go Home with Bonnie Jean

I used to be a roving lad
A roving and wandering life I had
On any lass I'd frown
Who would try to tie me down

But then one day I saw a maid
Who held out her hand and I stayed and stayed
And now, across the green
I'll go home with bonnie Jean

   CHORUS

   Go home, go home
   Go home with bonnie Jean
   Go home, go home
   I'll go home with bonnie Jean

I used to have a hundred friends
But when we are wedded the friendship ends
They never come to call
So farewell to one and all

Farewell to all the lads I knew
I'll see them again when they're married too
For soon, across the green
I'll go home with bonnie Jean

   CHORUS

Come to Me, Bend to Me

Because they've told me
I can't behold ye
Till weddin' music starts playin'
To ease my longin'
There's nothing wrong in me
Standin' out here and sayin'

   Come to me, bend to me
   Kiss me good day
   Darlin', my darlin'
   'Tis all I can say

   Just come to me, bend to me
   Kiss me good day
   Give me your lips
   And don't take them away

Almost Like Being in Love

Maybe the sun gave me the power
For I could swim Loch Lomond
And be home in half an hour
Maybe the air gave me the drive
For I'm all aglow and alive

What a day this has been
What a rare mood I'm in
Why, it's almost like being in love

There's a smile on my face
For the whole human race
Why, it's almost like being in love

All the music of life seems to be
Like a bell that is ringing for me
And from the way that I feel
When that bell starts to peal

I would say I was falling
I could say I was falling
It's almost like being in love
