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!
