Rhyme Scheme: AABCAA DDEEAA FFGHAA IIJJAA KKDDAA| My bonnet of blue my bonnet of blue | A |
| Its gossamer fineness I'll sing to you | A |
| For a delicate fabric in sooth it was | B |
| All trimmed and finified off with gauze | C |
| My bonnet of blue my bonnet of blue | A |
| How well I remember thy azure hue | A |
| - | |
| To church I wore it one pleasant day | D |
| Bedecked in ribbons of fanciful ray | D |
| And all the while I sat on my seat | E |
| I thought of naught save my bonnet so neat | E |
| My bonnet of blue my bonnet of blue | A |
| Broke not my heart when I bade thee adieu | A |
| - | |
| When service was over my steps I bent | F |
| Towards home a nodding my head as I went | F |
| But alas for my bonnet there came a wind | G |
| And blew it away for the strings were not pinned | H |
| My bonnet of blue my bonnet of blue | A |
| What shifting scenes have been thine to pass through | A |
| - | |
| I raised my eyes to the calm blue sky | I |
| There sailed my bonnet serene and high | I |
| O what a feeling of hopeless woe | J |
| Stole over me then no heart may know | J |
| My bonnet of blue my bonnet of blue | A |
| As clear as the sky was thy azure hue | A |
| - | |
| 'Twas vain to mourn for my bonnet and yet | K |
| It taught me a lesson I shall not forget | K |
| 'Twas never to make you an idol of clay | D |
| For when you best love them they'll fly away | D |
| My bonnet of blue my bonnet of blue | A |
| I loved thee well but thou wert untrue | A |
