'My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean' is a traditional Scottish song that dates back to at least the 1800s. It’s a nostalgic ballad that tells the story of someone longing for their beloved, who is far away across the sea. The song has been recorded and adapted by many artists over the years. Perhaps it's the theme of love and longing, combined with its catchy tune, that has helped it to endure for so long.
