Ho Ro Mo Nighean Donn Bhoidheach (nut Brown Maiden lyrics

A Charming love song to a highland maiden in which her lover vows

 to return and reclaim ber to share his life of exile in the lowlands.

 

 Seisd (Chorus)

 

 Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach,

 Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech

 Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach,

 Cha phos mi ach tu

 

 A Pheigi dhonn nam bla	h-shul

 Gur trom a thug mi gradh dhuit

 Tha d'iomhaigh ghaoil a's d'ailleachd

 A ghna	h tigh'n fo m'uidh

 

 Chorus

 

 'S ann tha mo ru's na beanntaibh,

 Far bheil mo ribhinn ghreannar

 Mar ros am fasach Shamhraidh

 An gleann fad'o shuil.

 

 Chorus

 

 Ach 'n uair a thig an Samradh

 Bheir mise sgriob do 'n ghleann ud

 'S gun tog mi leam do 'n Ghaildachd

 Gu h-annsail am flur

 

 Chorus

 

 Tramp Miner

 

 I am a tramp miner

 I've been for some time now

 I live without light of the day

 In the black underground, that's

 where I'll be found

 Biding my time away

 Oh working my life away

 

 From here out to Timmins

 I've loved all your women

 In the taverns I drank down my pay

 But I'd do it again even

 though it's a sin

 For it's better that driving the raise

 If you've done it you'd know what I say

 

 So I'll roll, roll with the wind

 Roll, roll with the wind

 Roll, roll with the time and the wind

 Then I'll find my way back home again

 

 Homesickness, heartbreak and black lung

 Among these men run rampant

 As they're rockin' n' rollin'

 High ballin' this country today

 

 I've been a tramp miner for such a long time now

 I've lived without light of the day

 In a hole in the ground

 They'll lower me down

 That'll be my final pay

 For working my life away

 

 So I'll roll, roll with the wind

 Roll, roll with the wind

 Roll, roll with the time and the wind

 Then I'll find my way back home again

 

 Roll, roll with the wind

 

 So I'll roll, roll with the wind

 Roll, roll with the wind

 Roll, roll with the time and the wind

 Then I'll find my way back home again

 

 

 Carry me back home again
