I wish I was on yonder hill
'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
And every tear would turn a mill
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

Shule Shule Shule aroon
Shule go succir agus,
shule go kewn shule, 
go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
I'll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a sword of steel
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

Shule Shule Shule aroon
Shule go succir agus,
shule go kewn shule, 
go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
And it's round the world I'll beg for bread
Until my parents shall wish me dead
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain
I wish I had my heart again
And vainly think I'd not complain
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

Shule Shule Shule aroon
Shule go succir agus,
shule go kewn shule, 
go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn

And now my love has gone to France
to try his fortune to advance
 If he ever comes back 'tis but a chance
Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán 

Shule Shule Shule aroon
Shule go succir agus,
shule go kewn shule, 
go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn
