1
I wish I was on yonder hill
2
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
3
And every tear would turn a mill,
4
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
5
Chorus (in phonetic Gaelic)
6
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
7
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,
8
Shule go durrus oggus aylig lume,
9
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
10
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,
11
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
12
To buy my love a sword of steel
13
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
14
Chorus
15
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,
16
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,
17
Until my parents shall wish me dead,
18
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
19
Chorus
20
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
21
I wish I had my heart again,
22
And vainly think I'd not complain,
23
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
24
Chorus
25
But now my love has gone to France,
26
To try his fortune to advance;
27
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance,
28
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
29

Chorus:
33
Come, come, come, O love,
34
Quickly come to me, softly move;
35
Come to the door, and away we'll flee,
36
And safe for aye may my darling be!
