Tharruing i'n sporan sioda niach,
'S bonn leth-chriiin thug i as.
'N sin thuirt i ris a' charbadair,
'S a cridh' le iomaguin làn,
" Gur leatsa so, mo ghille gleust',
Is thoir air ais e slùn."
Dh' fhalbh e, 's choinnich iad gan dùil,
Is dli'fheucli e 'n t-each a stad,
Ach 's ann a chuir an oidheirp so
An rosad air air fad.
'Nuair dh' fhaù-tlich aù- na bha 'na bheachd
A chur a nis 'an gniomh ;
Gu'n chlisg an t-each, 's air falbh gu'n theich
Ni 's hiaith' na rinn e riamh.
Air falbh chaidh Gilpin, is air falbh
An carbadair co bras,
Gun straoidhlich chuibhleachan 'na dhe'igh,
Gu meamnach a' dol as.
Bha sèathnar uaislean 'chiumaic e
A' teicheadh air an each,
'S an gille-carbaid air a thòir,
Gu'n ghlaodh iad uile mach,
"Mèirleach! mèirleach! glacaibhel"
Gu'n ghlaodh iad dh'iarraidh fòir ;
Is dh'f halbh iad fe'in 's na chunnaic e
'Nan teann-ruith air a thòir.
'S a rithist dh'fhosgladli dha gu luath
Cachaileadh mhòr na cis' ;
Oir shaoil na daoine, mar air tùs,
Gu'n robh e ruith na re'is.
