Your rating:
A Charming love song to a highland maiden in which her lover vows 
to return and reclaim ber to share his life of exile in the lowlands. 

Seisd (Chorus) 

Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach, 
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidhech 
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach, 
Cha phos mi ach tu 

A Pheigi dhonn nam bla h-shul 
Gur trom a thug mi gradh dhuit 
Tha d'iomhaigh ghaoil a's d'ailleachd 
A ghna h tigh'n fo m'uidh 

Chorus 

'S ann tha mo ru's na beanntaibh, 
Far bheil mo ribhinn ghreannar 
Mar ros am fasach Shamhraidh 
An gleann fad'o shuil. 

Chorus 

Ach 'n uair a thig an Samradh 
Bheir mise sgriob do 'n ghleann ud 
'S gun tog mi leam do 'n Ghaildachd 
Gu h-annsail am flur 

Chorus 

Tramp Miner 

I am a tramp miner 
I've been for some time now 
I live without light of the day 
In the black underground, that's 
where I'll be found 
Biding my time away 
Oh working my life away 

From here out to Timmins 
I've loved all your women 
In the taverns I drank down my pay 
But I'd do it again even 
though it's a sin 
For it's better that driving the raise 
If you've done it you'd know what I say 

So I'll roll, roll with the wind 
Roll, roll with the wind 
Roll, roll with the time and the wind 
Then I'll find my way back home again 

Homesickness, heartbreak and black lung 
Among these men run rampant 
As they're rockin' n' rollin' 
High ballin' this country today 

I've been a tramp miner for such a long time now 
I've lived without light of the day 
In a hole in the ground 
They'll lower me down 
That'll be my final pay 
For working my life away 

So I'll roll, roll with the wind 
Roll, roll with the wind 
Roll, roll with the time and the wind 
Then I'll find my way back home again 

Roll, roll with the wind 

So I'll roll, roll with the wind 
Roll, roll with the wind 
Roll, roll with the time and the wind 
Then I'll find my way back home again 

Carry me back home again
