¶Lyrics / Text

Scottish Gaelic|English| 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.
