Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha
| Sèist: | Chorus: |
| Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha | The blackcocks would reel |
| 'S dannsaidh na tunnagan | And the ducks would dance |
| Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha | The blackcocks would reel |
| Air a' bhruthach bhòidheach | On the beautiful bank |
| Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha | The blackcocks would reel |
| 'S dannsaidh na tunnagan | And the ducks would dance |
| Ruidhlidh na coilich dhubha | The blackcocks would reel |
| Air a' bhruthach bhòidheach | On the beautiful bank |
| Gheibh thu aran agus ìm | You will get bread and butter |
| 'S càise na banaraich | And cheese from the dairymaid |
| Gheibh thu aran agus ìm | You will get bread and butter |
| Agus bainne bhò ann | And cow's milk there |
| Gheibh thu aran agus ìm | You will get bread and butter |
| 'S càise na banaraich | And cheese from the dairymaid |
| Gheibh thu aran agus ìm | You will get bread and butter |
| Agus bainne bhò ann | And cow's milk there |
| Ma phosas Annag an nochd | If Ann marries tonight |
| Posaidh gach uile te | All the women will marry |
| Ma phosas Annag an nochd | If Ann marries tonight |
| Sgaradh air an t-seana bhean | Curses on the old wife |
| Ma phosas Annag an nochd | If Ann marries tonight |
| Posaidh gach uile te | All the women will marry |
| Ma phosas Annag an nochd | If Ann marries tonight |
| Sgaradh air an t-seana bhean | Curses on the old wife |
