"My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" ("Bring Back My Bonnie To Me") 1906 Haydn Quartet, Beatles sang this

Haydn Quartet "Bring Back My Bonnie to Me" is a Scottish folk song known by these titles: 1) My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean 2) My Bonnie 3) Bring Back My Bonnie To Me A singer laments that his bonnie is across the waves and implores that the girl be brought back. In the next stanza, he dreams she is dead ("Last night..."). The Haydn Quartet recorded it a few times. My bonnie lies out on the ocean While sadly I wait on the shore He wander'd away o'er the billow I'm longing to see him once more He comes to my heart in bright visions His face like an angels I see And, still do I sigh in my dreaming Oh! bring back my bonnie to me Bring back, bring back Bring back my love o'er the sea Bring back, bring back Bring back my bonnie to me He left me when roses were fading To bid me farewell, for a while My heart is so weary and lonely Bereft of his beautiful smile I stray where the billows are dashing And wonder where now he can be My heart to the waves ever whispers Oh! bring back my bonnie to me Then, darling one, can you forsake me? My life is so weary and lone Oh! send me a word o'er the water And say you are ever my own In sorrow and tears I'm repining And sad is my watch by the sea My darling, my dear one for ever Oh! bring back my bonnie to me The Beatles recorded it in 1961 when they were hired as backup session men for Tony Sheridan--the rocking version of "My Bonnie" by the Beatles (again, with Sheridan as vocalist) enjoyed very little success at first, but as soon as the Beatles hit the charts with superior records penned by the Lennon-McCartney team, their earlier recording of "My Bonnie" was re-issued as a Beatles record, Tony Sheridan's name kept small on the picture sleeve. "My Bonnie" sold well during the year of Beatlemania, 1964, though it was not a true Beatles record. The Haydn Quartet made many records from 1898 to 1914. On most Victor discs, the singers are first tenor John Bieling, second tenor Harry Macdonough, baritone S. H. Dudley, and bass William F. Hooley. The Haydn was the same as the Edison Male Quartet, which had been established in 1894 (by the time the Haydn name was adopted for Berliner discs, original Edison Quartet members Roger Harding and James Reynard had left). The March 1899 issue of The Phonoscope indicates that Haydn members at that time were a tenor named "Belling" (this was Charles Belling, not an error for "Bieling" though Bieling did sing at times for the quartet), tenor Jere Mahoney, S. H. Dudley, and William F. Hooley. Harry Macdonough began recording for Berliner in September 1899, and he evidently replaced Mahoney around this time. Macdonough was versatile, and Charles Belling must have decided he was no longer needed--around this time he left. It is likely that Bieling and Rycroft alternated as first tenor, depending on the music, until the end of the Berliner era, around June 1900. Presumably Bieling was first tenor on Victor discs in 1900, Rycroft gone. The name "Haydn" was chosen in memory of composer Franz Joseph Haydn. The quartet's repertoire shared nothing with Haydn's works, but quartets were sometimes named after famous composers. Members must not have known the standard pronunciation of "Haydn" since the quartet's name was always pronounced to rhyme with "maiden." In fact, in 1912 spelling of the quartet's name was changed to "Hayden" to conform to the pronunciation that members had been using. The Pronunciation Table at the back of Victor catalogs gives different pronunciations for the names Haydn (the composer is "High-dn") and Hayden (the quartet is "Hay-den"). The quartet made its Berliner debut on June 27, 1898, with Hattie Starr's "Little Alabama Coon" (870) and eventually made around 70 Berliners. Dudley was the group's manager. His signature is etched on the surface of several Berliner discs featuring the quartet, and Dudley added the word "manager" after his name. An example is 021, "Nearer My God To Thee," recorded on March 23, 1899. Since Dudley and tenor Roger Harding recorded a duet for Berliner on the same day as the Haydn Quartet's debut for the company, it is likely that Harding was one of the quartet's tenors at this session. As the Haydn, the group made its Victor debut with "Negro Wedding in Southern Georgia" on October 26, 1900. In 1909 Bieling and Hooley joined the newly formed American Quartet (which also consisted of tenor Billy Murray and baritone Steve Porter) but continued to record with Macdonough and Dudley in the Haydn. Dudley left the quartet in 1909 and was replaced by Reinald Werrenrath. Curiously, Victor catalogs as late as 1925 continued to identify quartet members as "Bieling, Macdonough, Dudley, Hooley" and to include Dudley's photograph.
