Lyrics: English Translation:
   
I would I were on yonder hill
It's there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn the mill		  
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
   
Chorus (after each verse):  
Siúl siúl siúl a rún Go, go, go, my love
Siúl go socair 'is siúl go ciúin Go quietly and go peacefully
Siúl go doras agus éalaigh liom Go to the door and fly with me
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
   
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
For to buy my love a coat of steel		  
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
   
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And 'round the world I'll beg for bread
Until my parents would wish me dead		  
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
   
And now my love has gone to France
To try his fortune to advance
If he ne'er came back, there'll be but a chance
Is go dté tú mo mhúirnín slán And may you go safely, my darling
