O thèid, c'uim nach d' thèid?
Nàile thèid mi thairis,

Gu innis nam bò
Far an ceòlar ainnir, Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, e ho rinn og u,
O iriri u o, ill o bha ho.
Gu innis nam bò
Far an ceòlar ainnir;

Gu bràigh Loch-Iall,
'N dean am siadh an langan; Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Is earbag nan stùc,
Gu lùthmhor eangarra. Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

A bhean an shuilt rèidh,
Guidheam sèin mo bheannachd dhuit. Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Beannachd ad dhèidh
O 'seigin dealachadh. Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

'S math thig brèid bàn
Air a chàradh beannach ort, Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Mu aghaidh gun screang
Nan gorm-shùl meallanach. Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Is minca bha mi
'Nlraidh ghleannaich leat, Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

'Am bothan beag dlùth
Gun dùn' ach barrach air. Ill o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Làmh thogail an àil,
Bha tlas riut ceangailte. IIl o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

'N àm gabhail gu tàmh
Cha bu chnàmhan teallaich dhuinn ; IIl o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Mo Iamb sui' d' cheann
'S do làmh gheal tharam; IIl o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

Mo bheul red' bheul,
'S finn maoth-chridh'ch tairis. IIl o bha bo,
Ho iriri u o, &c.

O thèid, &c.
