Once In The Highlands lyrics

Charlie
I used to be a rovin` lad.
A rovin` an` wanderin` 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, an` I stayed an` stayed.
An` now across the green, I`ll go home with bonnie Jean.

Townsfolk
Go home, go home, go homw with bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home.

Charlie
I`ll go home with bonnie Jean!
In Edinburgh I used to know a lass with an` air, an` her name was Jo;
An` every night at ten, I would meet her in the glen.
But now I`ll not see her again. Especially not in the glen, at ten.
For now across the green, I`ll go home with bonnie Jean!

Townsfolk
Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home.

Charlie
I`ll go home with bonnie Jean!
Hello to married men I`ve known; I`ll soon have a wife an` leave yours alone.
A bonnie wife indeed, and she`s all I`ll ever need.
With bonnie Jean my days will fly;
An` love her I will till the day I die.
That`s why, across the green, I`ll go home with bonnie Jean!

Townsfolk
Go home, go home, go home with bonnie Jean!
Go home, go home,

Charlie and Townsfolk
I`llHe`ll go home with bonnie Jean!
