B'fhearr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh
| B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh | Wasn't I the happy lass last year |
| Na mar tha mi 'm bliadhna | Compared to now |
| B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh | Wasn't I the happy lass last year |
| Fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh | Because the lads were coming to court me |
| B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh | Wasn't I the happy lass last year |
| Na mar tha mi 'm bliadhna | Compared to now |
| B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh | Wasn't I the happy lass last year |
| Fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh | Because the lads were coming to court me |
| Sčist: | Chorus: |
| Ho ro mo dhuilichinn | Oh ho wasn't I the idiot |
| Mo dhuilichinn na rinn mi | In what I did |
| Ho ro mo dhuilichinn | Oh ho wasn't I the idiot |
| Nach robh mi na mo mhaighdinn | That didn't stay a maid |
| Ho ro mo dhuilichinn | Oh ho wasn't I the idiot |
| Mo dhuilichinn na rinn mi | In what I did |
| Ho ro mo dhuilichinn | Oh ho wasn't I the idiot |
| Nach robh mi na mo mhaighdinn | That didn't stay a maid |
| Tāillear a bha mi sireadh | I had hoped for a tailor |
| Figheadair a fhuair mi | But it was a weaver I ended up with |
| Tāillear a bha mi sireadh | I had hoped for a tailor |
| Figheadair a fhuair mi | But it was a weaver I ended up with |
| Tāillear a bha mi sireadh | I had hoped for a tailor |
| Figheadair a fhuair mi | But it was a weaver I ended up with |
| Tāillear a bha mi sireadh | I had hoped for a tailor |
| Figheadair a fhuair mi | But it was a weaver I ended up with |
