I wish I was on yonder hill 'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill, And ev'ry tear would turn a mill, iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn; Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume, iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel I'll sell my only spinning wheel To buy my love a sword of steel iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn; Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume, iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red And 'round the world I'll beg my bread, Until my parents shall wish me dead iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn; Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume, iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn I wish, I wish, I wish in vain I wish I had my heart again, And vainly think I'd not complain iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn; Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume, iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn But now my love has gone to France To try his fortune to advance. If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn Shule, shule, shule aroon Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn; Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume, iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn
