Bodachan a ghàraidh

Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Bu laghach e, bu lurach e	He was nice, a handsome one
Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Bu laghach e mar bha e riamh	He was nice, he always was
Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Bu laghach e, bu lurach e	He was nice, a handsome one
Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Bu laghach e mar bha e riamh	He was nice, he always was

Sèist:	Chorus:
Hò, gu robh nighean aige	Ho, he had a daughter
'S è, gu robh dithis aige	Indeed, he had two
Hò, gu robh nighean aige	Ho, he had a daughter
'S cha do ghabh e rithe riamh	Whom he didn't ever recognize
Hò, gu robh nighean aige	Ho, he had a daughter
'S è, gu robh dithis aige	Indeed, he had two
Hò, gu robh nighean aige	Ho, he had a daughter
'S cha do ghabh e rithe riamh	Whom he didn't ever recognize

Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Cho frigeanach, cho froganach	So frisky, so agile
Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Cho frigeanach mar bha e riamh	As frisky as he ever was
Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Cho frigeanach, cho froganach	So frisky, so agile
Bodachan a ghàraidh	The old man of the garden
Cho frigeanach mar bha e riamh	As frisky as he ever was
