Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile
|
All the sheep have milk
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile
|
All the sheep have milk
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile
|
All the sheep have milk
|
|
'S galan a'chaora chruim
|
And the one with the crooked horn has a gallon
|
|
|
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain
|
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain
|
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain
|
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's
|
|
'S e cho sleamhain ris an im
|
And it's as slippery as butter
|
|
|
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile
|
All the sheep have milk
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile
|
All the sheep have milk
|
|
Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile

And the one with the crooked horn has a gallon

She has an udder as big as a milk cow's
|

Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain
|
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's
|
|
Ubh oirr' cho mór ri gamhain
|
She has an udder as big as a milk cow's
|
|
'S e cho sleamhain ris an im
|
And it's as slippery as butter
|

Tha bainn' ag na caoraich uile
|
All the sheep have milk
