Tha bata beag
S'truadh nach robh mise an a n'eillean
Och on a ri se mo ribhim donn
Ho horo mo Mhairi lubhrach
S'truadh noch robh mise an a n'Eillean a ravich
A teid thu leum a ribhinn mhaseach
Mo chairtean s'mo luchgd dubhchaodh
'S gann gu dirich mi chavidh
Chi mi tir sa robh mi nam bhalach
Insidh mi uille na tha ma'n mhuilean
Fal - a - la - lo
