Shule Aroon

I wish I was on yonder hill

'Tis there I'd sit and I'd cry my fill,

And ev'ry tear would turn a mill,

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

Shule, shule, shule aroon

Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;

Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

I'll sell my rod, I'll sell my reel

I'll sell my only spinning wheel

To buy my love a sword of steel

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

Shule, shule, shule aroon

Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;

Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

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

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

Shule, shule, shule aroon

Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;

Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I wish I had my heart again,

And vainly think I'd not complain

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

Shule, shule, shule aroon

Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;

Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

But now my love has gone to France

To try his fortune to advance.

If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn

Shule, shule, shule aroon

Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn;

Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

iss go jay too mavoorneen slahn
