Siúil a Rún (Irish Love Song)- Circa 1688 [Verse 1]
Dm  C       Bb    C      Dm
I   wish I was on yonder hill

F              Bb      C      
'tis there I'd sit and cry my fill,

Dm  C          Bb    C      Dm
And every tear would turn a mill,

         C            Dm  
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Chorus]
Dm     C      Bb    C Dm
Shule, shule, shule aroon,

F            Bb       C      
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,

Dm       C            Bb    C     Dm      
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

        C             Dm 
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 2]
Dm   C       Bb          C      Dm
I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel,

F            Bb   C      
I'll sell my only spinning wheel,

Dm  C     Bb      C       Dm
To buy my love a sword of steel

         C            Dm  
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 3]
Dm   C           Bb     C             Dm
I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red,

F              Bb         C      
And 'round the world I'll beg my bread,

Dm    C          Bb    C       Dm
Until my parents shall wish me dead,

         C            Dm  
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 4]
Dm  C       Bb      C       Dm
I   wish, I wish, I wish in vain,

F                Bb     C      
I wish I had my heart again,

Dm  C       Bb   C           Dm
And vainly think I'd not complain,

         C            Dm  
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Verse 5]
Dm  C       Bb      C       Dm
But now my love has gone to france,

F              Bb        C      
To try his fortune to advance;

Dm    C         Bb         C     Dm
If he e'er come back, 'tis but a chance,

         C            Dm  
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
[Chorus]
Dm     C      Bb    C Dm
Shule, shule, shule aroon,

F            Bb       C      
Shule go succir agus, shule go kewn,

Dm       C            Bb    C     Dm      
Shule go dheen durrus oggus aylig lume,

        C             Dm 
Iss guh day thoo avorneen slawn.
