I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill Until every tear would turn a mill Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán CHORUS Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin Siúil go socar agus siúil go ciúin Siúil go doras agus éalaigh liom Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán 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 dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán CHORUS I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread Until my parents shall wish me dead Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán CHORUS I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again And vainly think I'd not complain Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán CHORUS But now my love has gone to France To try his fortune to advance If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán CHORUS
