Siuil a Ruin - Connie Dover

Written by：Public Domain

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 dte tu 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 tu mo mhuirnin slan

Siuil siuil siuil a ruin

Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin

Siuil go doras ealaigh slan liom

Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan

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

And it's round the world I beg for bread

Until my parents would wish me dead

Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan

I 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 mhuirin slan

And 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 dte tu mo mhuirin slan

Siuil siuil siuil a ruin

Siuil go sochair agus siuil go ciuin

Siuil go doras ealaigh slan liom

Is go dte tu mo mhuirin slan
