Take greetings from me
Over to Harris
To John Campbell,
My brown haired sweetheart
To John Campbell,
My brown haired sweetheart
Hunter of goose,
Seal and swan
Hunter of goose,
Seal and swan
Of leaping trout,
Of bellowing deer.
Wet is the night
Tonight, and cold,
If the MacNeills
Have to put to sea
If the MacNeills
Have put to sea -
Men of high sails
And swift of ships
Men of high sails
And swift ships,
And of banners
Blue and green
And of banners
Blue and green
No left hander
Could take her rudder from you.
