Seallaibh Curaigh Eoghainn
From the singing of Mrs. Annie Arnott, Benbecula.
 
Seallaibh curaigh Eoghainn
Is coig ramh fichead oirre,
Seallaibh curaigh Eoghainn
'S i seachad air a Rùdha Bhàn
Seallaibh curaigh Eoghainn
Is coig ramh fichead oirre,
Seallaibh curaigh Eoghainn
'S i seachad air a Rùdha Bhàn
 
Bi Eoghainn, bi Eoghainn,
Bi Eoghainn na sgiobair oirr',
Bi Eoghainn, bi Eoghainn,
'S i seachad air a Rùdha Bhàn
Bi Eoghainn, bi Eoghainn,
Bi Eoghainn na sgiobair oirr',
Bi Eoghainn, bi Eoghainn,
'S i seachad air a Rùdha Bhàn
 
Do you see Ewan's Boat,
With twenty-five oars on her,
Do you see Ewan's Boat
Going past the White Point.
 
Ewan will be, will be,
Ewan will be her captain,
Ewan will be, will be,
Going past the White Point.
 
 
Fosgail An Dorus Dha 'n Tàilleir Fhìdhleir
From the singing of Mrs. Kate MacDonald, South Uist.
 
Séist Fosgail an dorus dha 'n tàilleir fhìdhleir
      Fosgail an dorus dha 'n fhìdhleir thàilleir;
      Fosgail an dorus dha 'n tàilleir fhìdhleir
      Cliamhainn an rìgh, fìdhleir tàilleir.
 
1 Dìleas mise dha 's càirdeach mi dha,
Dìleas mise dha 'n fhìdhleir thàilleir;
Dìleas mise dha 's càirdeach mi dha,
Cliamhain an rìgh, fìdhleir tàilleir.
 
2 Bainne nan gobhar dha 'n tàilleir fhìdhleir,
Bainne nan gobhar dha 'n fhìdhleir thàilleir;
Bainne nan gobhar dha 'n tàilleir fhìdhleir,
Cliamhainn an rìgh, fìdhleir tàilleir.
 
 
Chorus Open the door to the tailor-fiddler,
       Open the door to the fiddling tailor;
       Open the door to the tailor-fiddler,
       Brother-in-law to the king is the fiddling tailor.
 
1 I'm faithful to him and related to him,
  I'm faithful to the fiddling tailor;
  I'm faithful to him and related to him,
  Brother-in-law to the king is the fiddling tailor.
 
2 Goat's milk for the tailor-fiddler,
  Goat's milk for the fiddling tailor;
  Goat's milk for the tailor-fiddler,
  Brother-in-law to the king is the fiddling tailor.
 
 
Chuirinn Air a' Phìob E
Air Fonn: High Road to Linton
From the singing of Seumas Campbell, Skye
 
Chuirinn air a' phìob,
Air a' phìob, air a' phìob e;
Chuirinn air a' phìob e,
Mo sheann Domhnaill Dùbhghlas.
Chuirinn air a' phìob,
Air a' phìob, air a' phìob e;
Chuirinn air a' phìob e,
Mo sheann Domhnaill Dùbhghlas.
 
Chuirinn air an fhidhill,
Air an fhidhill, air an fhidhill e,
Chuirinn air an fhidhill e,
'S a rithist air an trumpaidh.
Chuirinn air an fhidhill,
Air an fhidhill, air an fhidhill e,
Chuirinn air an fhidhill e,
'S a rithist air an trumpaidh.
 
I'd play it on the pipes
On the pipes, on the pipes;
I'd play it on the pipes,
Old Donald Douglas
 
I'd play it on the fiddle,
On the fiddle, on the fiddle;
I'd play it on the fiddle,
And also on the Jew's harp.
