Huh.

Thanks for the correction; didn't know that!

(Though it seems I'm not the only one misremembering the lyrics that way.)

I didn't mean it as a correction so much as a personal preference. That is to say, your bonny is over the ocean, but my bonny lies over the ocean. ;) It could very well be a regional variation -- I was very surprised to find out the other day that the version of Yankee Doodle I've been singing all my life is not the standard version (or whatever version is on Wikipedia).
