Siuil A Ruin
I would I were on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Curfa
Siuil, siuil. siuil a ruin
Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin
Siuil go doras agus ealaigh liom
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
CurfaI'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 tu mo mhuirnin slan
CurfaI'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And it's round the world I'll be for bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
CurfaI wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
CurfaAnd now my love has gone to France
to try his fortune to advance
If he e'er comes back it's but a chance
Is go dte tu mo mhuirnin slan
Chorus:
Go, go, go my love
Go quietly and peacfully
Go to the door and flee with me
And may you go safely my dear.
