19. DH'FHALBHAINN FHIN LEIS
AN TÄILLEAR MHÔR
I Would Leave With The Big Tailor (The White Cockade)
Seist
'S dh'fhalbhainn fhin leis an taillear mhör, Shiubhlainn fhin leis an täillear mhòr;
Dh'fhalbhainn fhin leis an täillear fhidhleir,
'S theid mi fhin a phòsadh lem dg-nighinn duinn.

'S tha nighean lain 'ic Dhonnchaidh gu cul(a)-cheannach tinn
Nach mor a bha a chràdhadh ann an cnamhan a cinn;
'S nam faighinn air doigh i's a sedl dhan a' chill, Rachainn fhin a phòsadh lem dg-nighinn duinn.

'S gur mise bha görach a' posadh ri mnaoi, Air a motha sòd agus breòite san druim;
'S nam faighinn dhan wir thu 's do mhuig os do chinn, Rachainn fhin a phòsadh lem dg-nighinn duinn.
