| Sèist : | Chorus : |
| Bhean an tighe, fàg an siola | Oh woman of the house, leave the gill |
| 'M botul làn a tha mi sireadh | It is the full bottle that I'm seeking |
| Dh'òlainn deoch-slàinte nan gillean | I would drink a toast to the young men |
| A dh'imich Di-Luain bhuainn | Who left us on Monday |
| Chruinnich còmhlan cridheil, ùrail | A company gathered who were merry, fresh |
| Fonnmhor, farumach, glan, cùirteil | Tuneful, loud, fine and courteous |
| 'S gur e dh' fhàg mi trom fo chùram | The thing that has left me disturbed |
| An luchd-ciùil bhith bhuapa | Is the we have no musicians |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Gu'n robh feadhainn as gach àit ann | There were some from everywhere |
| Fir á Sestico 's á Màbou | People from Port Hood and Mabou |
| Fir á Siùdaig nam beann àrda | People from Judique, of the tall mountains |
| Bhiodh làmhach 's a' chruadal | Who would be adroit in adversity |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Cha robh bhuainn an sin ach fìdhlear | All we needed then was a fiddler |
| Leis an gluaiseamaid 's an ruìdhle | To whom we would move in a reel |
| 'S e bhith cur earbsa á trì dhiubh | Waiting for the three we expected |
| Chuir mi fhìn cho luaineach | Made me anxious for music |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Labhair Donnchadh le guth àrd ruinn | Duncan called out in loud voice |
| "O' n a tha luchd-ciùil anns a' Bhràighe | "Since we have musicians in Margaree |
| Falbhaidh mise leis an làir | I will go with the mare |
| 'S thig Peadar Dhaibhidh nuas leam" | And Peter David will come back with me" |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
