Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDBEB FBGBHBGB| Go fetch to me a pint o' wine | A |
| An' fill it in a silver tassie | B |
| That I may drink before I go | C |
| A service to my bonnie lassie | B |
| The boat rocks at the pier o' Leith | D |
| Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the ferry | B |
| The ship rides by the Berwick law | E |
| And I maun leave my bonnie Mary | B |

| The trumpets sound the banners fly | F |
| The glittering spears are rank egrave d ready | B |
| The shouts o' war are heard afar | G |
| The battle closes thick and bloody | B |
| But it 's no the roar o' sea or shore | H |
| Wad mak me langer wish to tarry | B |
| Nor shout o' war that 's heard afar | G |
| It 's leaving thee my bonnie Mary | B |
