Braw Sailin'

Oh there cam a letter late yestreen

Oor ship mon sail the morn

Alas says the bonny lass

It's there that I was born

Chorus

And it's braw sailin on the sea

When wind and weather's fair

It's better bein' in my love's airms

Than know gin I was there

And when he cam tae her fairm hoose

At twelve o'clock at noon

This lassie whom he had courted

She wouldnae let him in

And he took the ring from his pocket

It cost him guineas three

Sayin tak ye that my bonny lass

And aye think weel o' me

She took the ring from her pocket

It cost her shillings nine

Sayin tak ye that my bonny lad

For I hae changed my mind

And it's braw drinkin wi' your beer

It's better drinkin' wine

It's better bein' in my loves airms

Whaur I've been mony a time
