Title Chan òl mi ri'm mhaireann i |
Chan ol mi rim' mhaireann i deoch mholaichte graineal An ainm a bh'oirr' gum mheall e mi 'S gun innt' ach uisg bais dhomh A staidhre thug i lus asam Mo ghluinnean 's gun iad laidir 'Sa steapa mar a dhirinn Gun a thuit mi tri na h-aite Bha 'sausages' na maidne Aig a' chaillich anns a cardar 'S ann a thoisich mi gan ith' oirre Gun bhruich ach mar a bhad iad. Mar thainig mo chuid aodach dhium Cha bhiodh fios agam gu brath air Thainig a leine 'n toiseach dhium 'S an colair fhathast an aite 'S e fear a ghruail a dhuisg mi E cuir smuid as leis a laraidh 'S ma chaidh e far na dhordaich mi Chan fhaighear beo air sraid e Thug mi boid nach co-lion mi Is molaidh mi gach aon dhiubh White Horse is Black Label Iain Haig is Seonaidh Walker |
