lyrics

I fell in love with a girl named Bonnie Lee
I loved her but she was never kind to me
she could never kindly see just how she was killing me
she came in from the east and I thought she came to me
I loved her but she could never plainly see
she could never plainly see just how she was killing me
come on Bonnie Lee why don’t you come on out with me
I’d love you then perhaps you’d maybe see
perhaps you maybe see just how you’re killing me
I’ll take you to the dance so that everyone can see
just how I love you ‘though you’re never kind to me
it ain’t that hard to see just how you’re killing me
look a little closer ‘cause I wear it on my sleeve
it’s how I love you ‘though you’re never kind to me
you never kindly see just how you’re killing me
oh, Bonnie Lee, I know you’ll never marry me
although I’d love you ‘though you’re never kind to me
you will never kindly see just how you’re killing me
