I have no lyrics, think the album has lyrics, not entrirely sure

Anyways if you hear the song, the music sounds similar to Fosgail An Dorus/Nighean Bhuaidh' Ruadh

Lyrics after contacting label


'N ath bhanais bhios agam 'se 'n te agam fhin
Tha mi seachd sgith de'n aithris dhan spreidh
Bi iad gam cheasnachadh h-uile nith ni mi
H-uile nith ni mi bi iad nam' dheidh

-----------------------------------------------
The next wedding I'm at will be on my own
I'm sick and tired of this patter about cattle
They interrogate me everything I do
Everything I do, they're after me for it

-----------------------------------------------

Tha mi coma dheth 's truagh an obair e
Tha mi coma dheth siubhail nam gleann
Tha mi coma dheth, tha mi glan sgith
Tha mi coma dheth siubhail nam gleann

------------------------------------------------
I'm fed up with it, it's rotten work
I'm fed up with it, walking the glens
I'm fed up with it, I'm sick and tired
It's done for me, this walking the glens

------------------------------------------------

Tha mi gle choma dh dh'orainn nam bard
'G orain mu'n airigh eirigh na grein
'B'fhearr leam bhi cadal gus an eirighinn trath
'S sgapadh a bhlas air mullach nan spreidh

------------------------------------------------

I'm pretty fed up with the poets and their songs
Their songs about sheilings and sunrise at dawn
I'd rather be sleeping, till the sun was fully risen
And spreading its warmth on the hill and cows

-----------------------------------------------

'S olc obair e 's truagh an obair e
'S olc obair bhi togail ri gleann
'S olc obair bhi togail ri fraoch
'S uisg agus gaoth a fagail ort greann

-----------------------------------------------

The work is not good it's rotten work
The work is not good going up the glens
The work is not good going up up through the heather
And rain and wind making you frown

------------------------------------------------

Posaidh mi dh'aithghearr 's bithidh mo fagail
Boglaichean Mairi's nam geum
Posaidh mi dh'aithghearr 's gabhaich mi tabh
An bothan beag samhach 's fois aig mo cheum

------------------------------------------------

I'll marry soon and then I'll be leaving
Mary bogs and the lowing at the shieling
I'll marry soon and I'll settle down
In a quiet cottage I'll sit down and rest

-------------------------------------------------

Tha mi ullamh dheth mhill e buileachd mi
Tha mi ullamh de'n bhuachailleachd th'ann
Posaidh mi buinneag a ni dhomh an ti
'S nuair thogras mi fhin gun gabh mi mo dhram

-------------------------------------------------

I'm finished with it, it's ruined me totally
I'm finished for good for watching the cows
I'll marry a lassie who'll make me a tea
And when I feel like I'll have a wee dram

-------------------------------------------------

'N ath bhanais bhios agam 'se 'n te agam fhin
The next wedding I'm at will be on my own
