verse 1
G Em C G
Go fetch to me a pint o wine,
C Am C D
And fill it in a silver tassie;
G Em C G
That I may drink, before I go,
C Am C D
A service to my bonie lassie:
G Em C G
The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,
C Am C D
Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,
G Em C G
The ship rides by the Berwick-law,
C Am C D
And I maun leave my bony Mary.
verse 2
G Em C G
The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
C Am C D
The glittering spears are ranked ready,
G Em C G
The shouts o' war are heard afar,
C Am C D
The battle closes deep and bloody.
G Em C G
It's not the roar o' sea or shore,
C Am C D
Wad make me langer wish to tarry;
G Em C G
Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar-
C Am C D
It's leaving thee, my bony Mary!
