Go, fetch to me a pint o' wine,
And ______ it in a silver tassie,
That I may drink ______ I go
A service to my bonie lassie!
The ______ rocks at the pier o' Leith,
Fu' loud the ______ blaws frae the Ferry,
The ship rides by the Berwick-Law,
And I maun leave my bonie Mary.
The trumpets sound, the banners fly,
The glittering spears are rankèd ready,
______ shouts o' war are heard afar,
The battle closes ______ and bloody.
It's not the roar o' sea or ______
Wad mak me langer wish to tarry,
Nor shouts o' war that's heard afar:
It's leaving thee, my bonie Mary!
