I wish i was on yonder hill
tis there i'd sit and cry my fill
til every tear would turn a mill
is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
siuil, siuil, siuil a run
siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
is go dte to 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 to mo mhuirnin slan
siuil, siuil, siuil a run
siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
is go dte to mo mhuirnin slan
i'll dye my petticocats, i'll dye them red
and round the world i beg my bread
until my parents shall wish me dead
is go dte to mo mhuirnin slan
siuil, siuil, siuil a run
siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
siuil go doras agus ealaigh lion
is go dte to mo mhuirnin slan [2x]
