|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
'S galan a'chaora chruim |
And the one with the crooked horn has a gallon |
| |
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
'S e cho sleamhain ris an im |
And it's as slippery as butter |
| |
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
'S galan a'chaora chruim |
And the one with the crooked horn has a gallon |
| |
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
'S e cho sleamhain ris an im |
And it's as slippery as butter |
| |
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile |
All the sheep have milk |
|
'S galan a'chaora chruim |
And the one with the crooked horn has a gallon |
| |
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain |
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's |
|
'S e cho sleamhain ris an im |
And it's as slippery as butter |
