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
