THE BONNY LIGHTER BOY

English folk song

Key: Bm

 4-4 5  5   5 -4  5    -6  -6  6

It’s of a brisk young sail-or lad

-6  5  4  -4   4    -3”

And he a pren-tice bound

 6  -6  7 -7    -6      6    4

And she a mer-chant’s daugh-ter

 -4   5  5   4 -3 -3”  -4

With fif-ty thou-sand pound

 6    -6    -7   7  -7 -6 5 4

They loved each oth-er dear-ly

-4  5   5   4 -3” -4

In sor-row and in joy

 4  -4  5    5   5   5

Let him go where he will

 -6  -6  -6   -6

He’s my love still

  6  -5  5  4  -4 4  -3 -3”

He’s my bon-ny light-er boy
