I wish I were on yonder hill 
'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill, 
And ev'ry tear would turn a mill, 
And a blessing walk with you, my love
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan 

His hair was black and his eyes were blue
His arms were strong and his words were [bad word] I wish in my heart that I were with you
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
 [bad word] 
Siúil, siúil, siúil [bad word] 
Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciuin 
Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom 
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel 
I'll sell my only spinning wheel 
To by my love a sword of steel 
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

Then the king, he was forced to flee
Took my love across the sea
I wish in my heart he were here with me
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red 
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread, 
Until my parents shall wish me dead 
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan [bad word]  [bad word] O love,  [bad word] to me, softly move, [bad word] to the door and away we'll flee, 
And safe forever may my darling be.

But now my love has gone to France 
To try his fortune to advance. 
If he [bad word] back, 'tis but a chance
