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
