Siuil a Ruin

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 dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

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 dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

Siúil, Siúil, Siúil a Rúin

Siúil go socar agus Siúil go ciúin,

Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom,

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red

And it's round the world I'll beg for bread

Until my parents would wish me dead

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish I had my heart again

And vainly think I'd not complain

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

But now my love has gone to France

To try his fortune to advance

If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán

Siúil, Siúil, Siúil a Rúin

Siúil go socar agus Siúil go ciúin,

Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom,

Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán
