There cam a letter yestreen 
Oor ship mon 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 
It's better tae be in my love's airms 
O gin that I were there 

He's cam tae her fairm hoose
At twelve o'clock at noon
The lassie being proud-hearted
She would not let him in

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

He's taen the ring from his pocket
It cost him guineas three 
Sayin 'Tak ye that my bonnie lass
And aye think weel o' me'

And she's taen the ring from 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 
It's better tae be in my love's airms 
O gin that I were there
