I would I were on yonder hill It's there i'd sit and cry my fill   And every tear would turn a mill   Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan      I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel.   I'll sell my only spinning wheel   To buy my love a sword of steel   Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan         REFRAIN:   Siuil, siuil. siuil, a ruin   Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin   Siuil go doras ealaigh liom   Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan         I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red   And it's round the world I'' beg for bread   Until my parents would wish me dead   Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan      I wish, I wish, I wish in vain   I wish I had my heart again   And vainly thnk i'd not complain   Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan      And now my love hsa gone to France   to try his fortune to advance   If he e'er comes bcak 'tis but a chance   Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan         REFRAIN
