While I fondly wander,
With my heart’s true queen,
My bonny, bonny Jean.

Bonny Jean, your smile is always with me,
When absent, love, from thee;
Making joy and sunshine round my pathway,
Wherever I may be.
May they ever beam upon me,
In this mortal scene,
While I fondly wander
With my heart’s true queen,
My bonny, bonny Jean.
