W:But the hopes of youth are vanished and now I'm far away,

W:But those tyrannising landlords, they would not let us stay,
W:So farewell unto ye, bonny, bonny Sliav Gallion braes.

Commentary (p. 204):
This also from Dr. Ó Ceallaigh. He had given tune and words to Carl Hardebeck who arranged and published it in Gems of Melody: Seóda Ceóil (Pigott, 1910) with Gaelic words by Torna (Prof. Tadhg Ó Donncha). Dr. Séamus made a better Gaelic rendering himself. See Appendix where I print another song of same name. See also Biii [Bunting's third collection], 24, 'Slieve Gallen'.
