The Kist o'Deil and Tannahill Weavers recordings do appear to be based on Dr Norman MacLeod's original. The link and quotation Alice gave us on 20 Sept. are notes from a book "Lyra Celtica - An Anthology of Representative Celtic Poetry", edited by Elizabeth A Sharp with into. and notes by William Sharp, published "MDCCCXCVI" in Edinburgh by Patrick Geddes and Colleagues.

The lyrics given in the book are as follows (complete with spelling errors]

FAREWELL TO FIUNARY

The wind is fair, the day is fine,
And swiftly, swiftly runs the time,
The boat is floating on the tide
That wafts me off from Fiunary.

Eirigh agus tingainn O! [sic 'tiugainn' ]
Eirigh agus tingainn O!
Erigh [sic] agus tingainn O!
Farewell, farewell to fiunary!

A thousand, thousand tender ties
Awake this day my plaintive sighs,
My heart within me almost dies
To think of leaving Fiunary.

Eirigh agus tingainn [tiugainn] O! etc

With pensive steps I often strolled
Where Fingal's castle stood of old,
And listened while the shepherd told
The legend tales of Fiunary.

Eirigh agus tingainn [tiugainn] O! etc

I'll often pause at close of day
Where Ossian sang his martial lay,
And viewed the sun's departing ray
Wandering o'er Dun Fiunary.

Eirigh agus tingainn [tiugainn] O! etc

I'm still left wondering about the 4 other verses in Gaelic and whether there are also 4 more original English verses.
