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 gahaidh o ho
'N fhairge laidir o hi
Suas gu ba
r a' chroinn-sgoid

Chorus

Hi ho hi ho
Hi ho hi ho

Chorus
