I would I were on yonder hill
It's there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn the mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Siul siul siul a run
Siul go socair 'is siul go ciuin
Siul go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
I'll sell my rock I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
For to buy my love a coat of steel
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Siul siul siul a run
Siul go socair 'is siul go ciuin
Siul go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
I'll dye my petticoats I'll dye them red
And round the world I'll beg for bread
Until my parents would wish me dead
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Siul siul siul a run
Siul go socair 'is siul go ciuin
Siul go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
And now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he ne'er came back there'll be but a chance
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Siul siul siul a run
Siul go socair 'is siul go ciuin
Siul go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
