Siъil, siъil, siъil a rъin
Siъil go sochair agus siъil go ciъin
Siъil go doras agus йalaigh liom
[Chorus:]
Siъil, siъil, siъil a rъin
Siъil go sochair agus siъil go ciъin
Siъil go doras agus йalaigh liom
Is go dtй tъ mo mhъirnнn slбn
I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
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
[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
[Chorus three times]
