I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,
And till every tear would turn a mill,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus:
Shule, shule, shule aroon,
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn, Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

I'll sell my rock, Il'l sell my reel,
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,
To buy my love a sword of steel
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

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,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,
I wish I had my heart again,
And vainly think I'd not complain, Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

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,
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.

Chorus

englische Übersetzung des Refrains:
Come, come, come, O love,
Quickly come to me, softly move;
Come to the door, and away we'll flee,
And safe forever may my darling be!
