the rabbit song

my bonnie lies over the ocean
my bonnie lies over the sea
my bonnie lies over the ocean
oh bring back my bonnie to me...

bring back, bring back, bring back my bonnie to me, to me
bring back, bring back, bring back my bonnie to me...

When I was a little girl my mom would sing this to me, and I would imagine a woman floating in the water (nothing was wrong with her, just peaceful) and a man on a huge cliff watching her float away.

I started singing this to Will when he was little, it's very calm and long enough to not be boring.
The other day I was rocking him at bedtime and I asked him what he wanted me to sing.
He told me to sing the rabbit song. I had to stop and ask him what he meant, I don't know any rabbit songs. He said "yeah mommy, and started singing, "my rabbit, I mean my bunny lies over the ocean....." I still sing that song but now I giggle a little to myself when I do.

here's a link if your not familiar with the song:
