Si?il, si?il, si?il a r?in
Si?il go sochair agus si?il go ci?in
Si?il go doras agus ?alaigh liom

[Chorus:]
Si?il, si?il, si?il a r?in
Si?il go sochair agus si?il go ci?in
Si?il go doras agus ?alaigh liom
Is go dt? t? mo mh?irn?n sl?n

I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus three times]
