My Bonnie Mary.
By Robert Burns
Tune - "Go fetch to me a pint o' wine." I. Go fetch to me a pint o' wine, An' fill it in a silver tassie; That I may drink, before I go, A service to my bonnie lassie; The boat rocks at the pier o' Leith; Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the ferry; The ship rides by the Berwick-law, And I maun leave my bonnie Mary. II. The trumpets sound, the banners fly, The glittering spears are ranked ready; The shouts o' war are heard afar, The battle closes thick and bloody; It's not the roar o' sea or shore Wad make me langer wish to tarry; Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar, It's leaving thee, my bonnie Mary.
