I would I were on yonder hill
It’s there I’d sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Iss guh jay thoo avorneen slawn.

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
Iss guh jay thoo avorneen slawn.

Shule, shule, shule aroon,
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewin,
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
Iss guh jay thoo avorneen slawn.

I’ll die my petticoats, I’ll die them red
And it’s round the world I’ll beg my bread
Until my family shall wish me dead
Iss guh jay thoo avorneen slawn.

CH

And now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he e’er comes back ‘tis but a chance
Iss guh jay thoo avorneen slawn.

CH x2

Gaelic:   Siuil, siuil, siul a run,
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Translation :
Walk, walk, walk, O love,
Walk quickly to me, softly move;
Walk to the door, and away we'll flee,
