Ben J W Anthony - Go Fetch To Me A Pint O' Wine (The Silver Tassie)

Go fetch to me a pint o' wine, and fill it in a silver tassie
That I may drink, before I go, a service to my bonnie lassie
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 bonnie Mary
The trumpets sound, the banners fly, the glittering spears are ranked ready
The shouts o' war are heard afar, the battle closes deep and bloody
But it's no the roar o' sea or shore, wad mak me langer wish to tarry
Nor shout o' war that's heard afar, it's leaving thee, my bonnie Mary
Go fetch to me a pint o' wine, and fill it in a silver tassie
That I may drink, before I go, a service to my bonnie lassie
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 bonnie Mary
The trumpets sound, the banners fly, the glittering spears are ranked ready
The shouts o' war are heard afar, the battle closes deep and bloody
But it's no the roar o' sea or shore, wad mak me langer wish to tarry
Nor shout o' war that's heard afar, it's leaving thee, my bonnie Mary
Nor shout o' war that's heard afar, it's leaving thee, my bonnie Mary
