My Bonnie (Set Me Free)

Come all you good wives and true husbands
May God bless your nights and your days!
And listen to my lamentation
Then pray for me if you can pray.
The very first time that I saw her
I hardly could keep on my feet
Cause she was as fair as an angel
Appeared by chance in the street.

Chorus: Oh oh oh set me free!
Take my Bonnie from me
Oh oh oh set me free!
Won't you please take my Bonnie from me.

At first we were happy together
I pleased her and she did the same
At night she did open me Heaven
I only could whisper her name.
half year passed in a moment
As soon as I called her my wife
I cursed the blessed day when I met her
Cause this was the end of me life.

Chorus

My Bonnie's a bloodthirsty monster
She's gulping my blood as her wine
My Bonnie's a human flesh roaster
witch and a [bad word] and a swine!
She hates me as Devil hates Easter
She treats me as the worst kind of slave
Sir Lucifer's dearest sister
She will dance a jig on me grave.

Chorus

Oh bring me a glass full of whiskey
Oh bring me a glass full of gin
I'll drink to your friends and relations
For I know the truth is within.
Come all you good wives and true husbands
May God bless your nights and your days!
And listen to my lamentation
Then pray for me if you can pray.
