R.:
Siubhail a gradh,
Ni leigheas le faghail acht leigheas an bhais,
O d'fhag tu mise is bocht mo chas,
Is go dteidhidh tu a mhuir nin slan*.

I wish I were on yon green hill,
'tIs there I'd sit and cry my fill,
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill.
My darling and my life I love you so.
R.

I'll sell my rack, I'll sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel,
My darling and my life I love you so.
R.

But now my love has gone to France,
To try his fortune to advance,
If he come back, 'tis but a chance,
My darling and my life I love you so.
R.

(*) Go, go, go oh love, no cure can be obtained but the cure of death,
O you left me and my leg is sore, and you will come back unblemished, my lover.
