What are the gaelic words Mary MacMaster sings on Christmas At Sea on Sting's new album? (If on a winter's night...)

They might just be Fol de diddle ol rol, but I wish Sting had included them in the sleeve along with all the English lyrics!

thanks

It's a waulking song, so presumably Scots gaelic... can't help more than that, though.
