Silver Tassie Lyrics

Lyrics - Robert Burns
Melody - The Secret Kiss (traditional)

Gae bring tae me a pint o wine
And fill it in a silver 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 frae the ferry
The ship rides by the Berwick Law
And I maun leave my bonnie Mary
The trumpets sound, the banners fly
The glittering spears they are ranked ready
The shouts o war are heard afar
And the battle closes deep and b*****
It"s not the roar o sea or shore
Would mak me langer wish to tarry
Nor shouts o war that"s heard afar
Oh it"s leaving thee my bonnie Mary
