Braw Sailin’ on the Sea Lyrics by Kris Drever

Black Water

0

[Verse 1]
There cam a letter yestreen
The ship maun sail the morn
"Alas," cried the bonnie lass
"That ever I was born,"
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better tae be in my love's arms
O gin that I were there
[Verse 2]
He's cam untae her faither's hoose
At twelve o'clock at noon
The lassie being proud-herted
She wouldna let him in
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better tae be in my love's arms
O gin that I were there
[Verse 3]
He's taen a ring from his pocket
It cost him guineas three
Sayin, "Tak ye that, my bonnie lass
And aye think weel o me,"
[Verse 4]
And she's taen a ring from her pocket
It cost her shillings nine
Sayin, "Tak ye that, my bonnie lad
For I hae changed my mind,"
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better tae be in my love's arms
O gin that I were there
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better tae be in my love's arms
O gin that I were there
