Ruidhleadh mo nighean donn

Ruidhleadh mo nighean donn My brown-haired girl would dance a reel
Bha an raoir an cul a bhearraidh Behind the ridge last night
Ruidhleadh mo nighean donn My brown-haired girl would dance a reel
Bha an cul a ghearraidh Behind the garden
Ruidhleadh mo nighean donn My brown-haired girl would dance a reel
Bha an raoir an cul a bhearraidh Behind the ridge last night
Faragin mo nighean donn Bravo, my brown-haired girl
Bha an cul a ghearraidh Behind the garden
   
Sèist: Chorus:
Faragin mo nighean donn Bravo, my brown-haired girl
Bha an raoir an cul a bhearraidh Behind the ridge last night
Faragin mo nighean donn Bravo, my brown-haired girl
Bha an cul a ghearraidh Behind the garden
Faragin mo nighean donn Bravo, my brown-haired girl
Bha an raoir an cul a bhearraidh Behind the ridge last night
Ruidhleadh mo nighean donn My brown-haired girl would dance a reel
Bha an cul a ghearraidh Behind the garden
   
Nighean dubh si nighean donn Black-haired girl, brown-haired girl
Bha an raoir an cul a bhearraidh Behind the ridge last night
Nighean dubh si nighean donn Black-haired girl, brown-haired girl
Bha an cul a ghearraidh Behind the garden
Nighean dubh si nighean donn Black-haired girl, brown-haired girl
Bha an raoir an cul a bhearraidh Behind the ridge last night
Faragin mo nighean donn Bravo, my brown-haired girl
Bha an cul a ghearraidh Behind the garden
