Braw Sailin’ on the Sea Lyrics[Verse 1]
Oh, there cam a letter late yestreen
Oor ship maun sail the morn
"Alas," says the bonnie lass
"It's ever I was born,"
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better being in my love's airms
And oh gin I were there
[Verse 2]
And when he cam tae her faither's hoose
At twelve o'clock at noon
His lassie being prood-herted
She wadna let him in
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better being in my love's airms
And oh gin I were there
[Verse 3]
And he's taen a ring frae his pocket
It cost him guineas three
Sayin, "Tak ye that, my bonnie lass
And aye think weel o me,"
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better being in my love's airms
And oh gin I were there
[Verse 4]
And she's taen a ring frae her pocket
It cost him shillings nine
Sayin, "Tak ye that, my bonnie lad
For I hae changed my mind,"
[Instrumental]
[Verse 5]
And it's braw drinkin Glesga beer
It's better drinkin wine
It's better being in my love's airms
Where I've been mony's a time
[Chorus]
And it's braw sailin on the sea
When wind and weather's fair
It's better being in my love's airms
And oh gin I were there
And it's better being in my love's airms
And oh gin I were there
