| O Mary Leslie blithe and shrill | B |
| The bugles blew for Spain | C |
| And you below the Castle Hill | B |
| Stood in the crowd your lane | C |
| Then hearts were wild to watch us pass | D |
| Yet laith to let us go | E |
| While mine said Fare ye well my lass | D |
| And yours God keep my Jo | E |
| - | |
| Here by the bivouac fire above | F |
| These fields of savage play | G |
| I'll lift my love to meet thy love | F |
| Twa thousand miles away | G |
| - | |
| Where yonder yonder by the stars | H |
| Nightlong there rins a burn | I |
| And maids with lovers at the wars | J |
| May list their wraiths' return | I |
| - | |
| More careless yet my spirit grows | K |
| Of fame more sick of blood | L |
| But I can think of Badajoz | K |
| And yet that God is good | M |
| Beyond the siege beyond the stour | N |
| Beyond the sack of towns | K |
| I reach to pluck ae lily floo'r | N |
| Where leaders press for crowns | K |
| - | |
| O Mary lily bow'd and wet | O |
| With mair than mornin's rain | C |
| The bugles up the Lawnmarket | O |
| Shall sound us home again | P |
| - | |
| Then fare ye well these foreign lands | K |
| And be damn'd their bitter drouth | Q |
| With your dear face between my hands | K |
| And the cup held to my mouth | Q |
| My love | F |
| It's clean cup to my mouth | Q |
