But...
In all seriousness, wouldn't this have been a better choice for a serenade?
MY BONNY LIES OVER THE OCEAN
My bonny lies over the ocean
My bonny lies over the sea,
My bonny lies over the ocean,
Oh bring back my bonny to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my bonny to me, to me,
Bring back, bring back,
Oh bring back my bonny to me.
Last night as I lay on my pillow,
Last night as I lay awake till dawn,
Last night as I lay on pillow,
I dream't that my bonnie was gone
The winds have blown over the ocean
The winds have blown over the sea
The winds have blown over the ocean
and brought back my bonny to me.
See? Pathos, combined with the appropriate "over the ocean" imagery makes for a powerful message. Just a thought....
