Rankin Family - Leis An Lurgainn (boat Song) lyrics

Written by a MacInnes from Fort William after returning

home safely from a stormy voyage to Ireland on his ship,

The Lurgainn

Seisd (Chorus)

Leis an Lurgainn o hi

Leis an Lurgainn o ho

Beul an anamoich o hi

's fheudar faibh le 'cuid seol

An Cuan Eirinn o hi

Muir ag e/irigh o ho

Cha bu le/ir dhuinn o hi

Ni fo 'n ghre/in ach na neoil

Chorus

Seachad Ile o hi

'M beul na h-oidhche o ho

Las sinn coinnlean o hi

'S chuir sinn combaist air doigh

Chorus

Seachad Aros o hi

Bha i gabhaidh o ho

'N fhairge laidir o hi

Suas gu barr a' chroinn-sgoid

Chorus

Hi ho hi ho

Hi ho hi ho

Chorus
