Braw Sailin' On The Sea

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
