Written by a MacInnes from Fort William after returning
home safely from a stormy voyage to Ireland on his ship,
The Lurgainn
Seisd (Chorus)
Leis an Lurgainn o hi
Leis an Lurgainn o ho
Beul an anamoich o hi
's fheudar faibh le 'cuid seol
An Cuan Eirinn o hi
Muir ag e/irigh o ho
Cha bu le/ir dhuinn o hi
Ni fo 'n ghre/in ach na neoil
Chorus
Seachad Ile o hi
'M beul na h-oidhche o ho
Las sinn coinnlean o hi
'S chuir sinn combaist air doigh
Chorus
Seachad Aros o hi
Bha i gahaidh o ho
'N fhairge laidir o hi
Suas gu ba
r a' chroinn-sgoid
Chorus
Hi ho hi ho
Hi ho hi ho
Chorus
