LIEUT.-COLONEL JOHN MACGREQOR, M.D. 35
Nuair a chuir mi cul ri mo ghruagach dhonn,
'S e b' eigin dhomh seoladh muir mor nan tonn,
Nuair a chuir mi cul ri mo ghruagach dhonn ;
Nuair a chuir mi cul,
Shil gu fliuch mo shuil,
Ri fagail mo ruin, 's i cho tursach, trom,
Nuair a chuir mi cul ri mo ghruagach dhonn.
Bha sinn uile deuchainneach, doruinneach,
Ach nis bidh sinn duanagach, dochasach,
Bha sinn uile deuchainneach, doruinneach ;
Oir thainig mis' thar tuinn,
Gu posadh m' ainnir ghrinn,
'S a chaoidh bidh sinn aoibhneach us solasach,
Bha sinn uile deuchainneach, doruinneach.
Choisinn mi dhoinh-fhein nighean bkoidheach, dhonn.
An ribhinn thar miltean hu bhoidhche ham,
Choisinn mi dhoiuh-fhein nighean bhoidheach, dhonn ;
Choisinn mi dhomh-fhein
Nighean bhanail, mhin,
Bu shiobhalta briodal us comhradh rium,
Choisinn mi dhomh-fhein nighean bhoidheach, dhonn.
