Emma Christian - Siúil Rúin lyrics

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 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 CURFA 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 dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And it's round the world I'll beg for bread Until my parents would wish me dead Is go dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán 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 But 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 dté tu, mo mhuirnín slán CURFA
