Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha

Sèist: Chorus:
Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha The blackcocks would reel
'S dannsaidh na tunnagan And the ducks would dance
Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha The blackcocks would reel
Air a' bhruthach bhòidheach On the beautiful bank
Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha The blackcocks would reel
'S dannsaidh na tunnagan And the ducks would dance
Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha The blackcocks would reel
Air a' bhruthach bhòidheach On the beautiful bank
   
Gheibh thu aran agus ìm You will get bread and butter
'S càise na banaraich And cheese from the dairymaid
Gheibh thu aran agus ìm You will get bread and butter
Agus bainne bhò ann And cow's milk there
Gheibh thu aran agus ìm You will get bread and butter
'S càise na banaraich And cheese from the dairymaid
Gheibh thu aran agus ìm You will get bread and butter
Agus bainne bhò ann And cow's milk there
   
Ma phosas Annag an nochd If Ann marries tonight
Posaidh gach uile te All the women will marry
Ma phosas Annag an nochd If Ann marries tonight
Sgaradh air an t-seana bhean Curses on the old wife
Ma phosas Annag an nochd If Ann marries tonight
Posaidh gach uile te All the women will marry
Ma phosas Annag an nochd If Ann marries tonight
Sgaradh air an t-seana bhean Curses on the old wife
