The waters, the sea
My pillow in my bed
The waters, the sea
I dreamt that they were deadFetch me, and return
As winds blow o'er the same
Fetch me, and return
My body or my dame
What song am I?

5 ths one
I guess it's about what you know... it took me 5 seconds, but I have it on LP here somewhere, so 5 seconds today, and hours of training many years ago,
Explanation: the clues are simpliifications, or reinterpretations of the song lyrics.
The waters, the sea verse 1:
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me...
My pillow in my bed I dreamt that they were dead verse 2
Last night as I lay on my pillow
Last night as I lay on my bed
Last night as I lay on my pillow
I dreamt that my Bonnie was dead
Fetch me, and return As winds blow o'er the same Fetch me, and return Chorsue:
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my Bonnie to me
also verse 3:
Oh, blow the winds o'er the ocean
And blow the winds o'er the sea
Oh, blow the winds o'er the ocean
And bring back my Bonnie to me
My body or my dame I can't explain that clue - perhaps some different arrangement of this song.
- $\begingroup$ Correct! You want to provide your interpretation of the clues, for those who don't know? Thanks. $\endgroup$mbomb007– mbomb0072016-06-18 19:30:32 +00:00Commented Jun 18, 2016 at 19:30

- $\begingroup$ if you they lyrics (linked) they prett-much parallel the clues, except for the last line... maybe some other variant of the song. $\endgroup$Jasen– Jasen2016-06-18 22:34:05 +00:00Commented Jun 18, 2016 at 22:34
- $\begingroup$ The last clue is in reference to a commonly misheard lyric. $\endgroup$mbomb007– mbomb0072016-06-20 20:21:39 +00:00Commented Jun 20, 2016 at 20:21
