Newry Boat-Song

[Chorus (after each verse)]
Gur h-e mo ghille dubh-dhonn
Gur tù mo chuilean runach
Gur h-e mo ghille dubh-dhonn

San a'raoir nach d'fhuair mi'n cadal
Bha mì fad 'nam dùsgadh

Smaointin air an fhear a thrèig mi
'S nach d'rinn feum dha chumhtan

He's gone, he's gone, my lover's gone
And left me broken hearted

Chuala mi gun d'rinn thù Dhomhnaill
Posadh ann an Niubhraidh

Domhnall Donn the people say
You've married down in Newry

B'fhearr leam fhin a bheith riut posda
Na cuid ór a Phrionnsa

I would rather have you, Donald
Than the gold of prince's

Och nam och mar tha mi nochd
Trom osnaidh 's mi gad iondrainn
