It turns up again in the 1923 edition of "Songs of the Hebrides" (vol. 3) as "The Hazel by the River", with a quite different English text (uncredited, so perhaps by Marjory Kennedy-Fraser). The Gaelic text (of which neither English version is a translation) is as follows: Theid mi null air an abhuinn Tha na maoir ga ma shireadh Described as "An ancient Skye mouth-tune from Keith MacDonald's Puirt-a-Beul".

[bands of ribbons woven about my head] [McLaren dictionary trans. of 'ruideal' - a riddle, a coarse sieve; in English 'to riddle' can mean to sift or to poke holes in]
Theid mi null air an abhuinn
I'll go across the river
Tha na maoir ga ma shireadh
Cha gabh mi ach taillear. |

There are chills in the river otter pools in the rive water pools in the river in the river called Siene." It's amazing how the brain fills in the gaps based on cultural references... |
