Fionnghuala

Thuirt an gobha fuirighidh mi
'S thuirt an gobha falbhaidh mi
'S thuirt an gobha leis an othail
A bh' air an do\rus an t-sa\bhail
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe

Se/ist
'S a gheala nam botham nam botham
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam
'S hala ham to han an doicheam
Am bothan a bh' aig Fionnghuala


Bheirinn fead air fulmairean
Bheirinn fead air falmairean
Liuthannan beaga na mara
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn


He also knew of a third verse:

Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo\
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo\
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo\
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn

This song is also on the Music From the Western Isles collection. It's
