Verses from a love song about a sailor who went to sea while he was still very young, and is missing his sweetheart. This song is widespread among Cape Breton singers in a large number of versions according to locality.
Hé ho rò Mo Mhàiri Lurach
Séist:
E Ho Ro Mo Mhaighdinn Lurach
Dha'n tug mi an gaol cho buileach;
'S e dh'fhàg m'inntinn tròm fo mhulad
Nach fhaod mi fuireach 'nad chòir.
'S na biodh dùil agad, a' Mhàiri,
Gur ann 'gad mhealladh a tha mi;
'S dòcha leam thu na mo mhàthair
Ged is i rinn m'àrach òg.
'S tu mo chadal, 'us tu mo dhùsgadh,
Anns a' mhaduinn mo chruit chiùil thu;
Ort-sa chuirinn mo chùrsa
Ged a bhiodh e dubh le ceò.
Bi mi cuimhneachadhh gach àm ort
Ged b'ann a’dol dha'n a chrann mi;
Chuir thu seachran `nam cheann
`S cha'n amais mi air ceann a' ròp'
