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.
