[edit] Great to see this here

I love this song. The best version I've ever heard was by Skylark on their 1987 'All of It' album. Len Graham's deep rich voice is unsurpassed. El Gringo 04:48, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

I love Clannad's version, its so pretty. --[[User:Mitternacht90|Mitternacht90]] 02:18, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reeltime

The band Reeltime did a version of this with slightly different lyrics. They are as follows:

  I wish I was on yonder hill
  'Tis there I'd sit and cry my fill
  Until every tear would turn a mill
  Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

  I'll sell my rock, I'll sell my reel
  I'll sell my only spinning wheel
  For to buy my love a sword of steel
  Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

  (Chorus:)
  Siúil, siúil, siúil a rúin
  Siúil go sochair agus siúil go ciúin
  Siúil go doras agus ealaigh liom
  Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

  I'll dye my petticoats, I'll dye them red
  And round the world I'll beg my bread
  Until my parents shall wish me dead
  Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

  (Chorus)

  (Instrumental Interlude)

  And now my love has gone to France
  To try his fortune to advance
  If he e'er comes back 'tis but a chance
  Is go dtí tú mo mhuirnín slán

  (Chorus x2)
