¶Lyrics / Text

R.: Gae bring tae me a pint o wine, and fill it in a siller tassie that I may drink afore I go, a service tae my bonnie lassie The boat rocks at the pier o Leith, fu loud the wind blaws fae the ferry The sip rides by the Berwick Law, and I maun leave my bonnie Mary. R. The trumpet sounds, the banners fly, the glitterin spears are ranked ready The shouts o war are heard afar, the battle closes deep and bloody It’s no the roar o sea on shore that maks me langer wish tae tarry Nor shouts o war that’s heard afar, it’s leaving thee, my bonnie Mary. R.
