about

A take on one of my favourite well-known Scots songs

lyrics

There cam a letter late yestreen,
Oor ship maun sail the morn
"Alas," cried the bonnie lass,
That ever I was born

And it's braw sailin’ on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
Oh it's better tae be in my love's airms,
O gin I were there

He’s cam untae her faither’s hoose
At twelve o'clock at noon
The lassie bein prood herted,
She widna let him in

But he’s taen a ring frae his pocket,
It cost him guineas three,
Sayin’ tak ye that my bonnie lass,
And aye think weel o me

But she’s taen a ring frae her pocket,
It cost her shillings nine,
Sayin’ tak ye that my bonnie lad,
For I hae changed my mind

And it's braw sailin’ on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
Oh it's better tae be in my love's airms,
O gin I were there
