Oh young man who has left me
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
You kept me behind all others
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
Without the knowledge of my father or my mother
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
Without the knowledge of my sister or my brother
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
Oh woman over there at the spinning wheel
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
You yourself know how my heart is
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
The young Campbell in its inside
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
And I will not get baptized in Uist
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
Until I reach the man with the blond tresses
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
You kept me behind all others
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
