Military Wives - Silver Ta**ie lyrics

The trumpets sound, the banners fly The glittering spears are ranked ready The shouts of war are heard afar The battle closes deep and bloody It's not the roar of sea or shore Would make me langer wish to tarry; Nor shouts of war that's heard afar It's leaving thee, my bonie Mary! Go fetch to me a pint o' wine And fill it in a silver ta**ie; That I may drink, before I go A service to my bonie la**ie: 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 bonie Mary The trumpets sound, the banners fly The glittering spears are ranked ready The shouts of war are heard afar The battle closes deep and bloody It's not the roar of sea or shore Would make me langer wish to tarry; Nor shouts of war that's heard afar It's leaving thee, my bonie Mary! 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 bonie Mary And I maun leave my bonie Mary
