Ma dh'eugas Dòmhnall mac 'ic Iain
Ma dh'eugas Dòmhnall mac 'ic Iain | If Donald son of the son of John dies |
Eugaich e an cosnach | He'll die employed |
Ma dh'eugas Dòmhnall mac 'ic Iain | If Donald son of the son of John dies |
Bidh sinn air a thòrradh | We'll be at his funeral |
Ma dh'eugas Dòmhnall mac 'ic Iain | If Donald son of the son of John dies |
Eugaich e an cosnach | He'll die employed |
Ma dh'eugas Dòmhnall mac 'ic Iain | If Donald son of the son of John dies |
Bidh sinn air a thòrradh | We'll be at his funeral |
Gheobh sinn aran agus ìm | We'll get bread and butter |
'S càise na banaraich | And the milkmaid's cheese |
Gheobh sinn aran agus ìm | We'll get bread and butter |
Uisge-beath' an Tòisich | And the Toiseach's whisky |
Gheobh sinn aran agus ìm | We'll get bread and butter |
'S càise na banaraich | And the milkmaid's cheese |
Gheobh sinn aran agus ìm | We'll get bread and butter |
Uisge-beath' an Tòisich | And the Toiseach's whisky |
