What is that on your sword so red?
Dear son, pray tell unto me
Tis the blood of a gay gilleon.
Dear mother, pity me.
Tis the blood of a gay gilleon.
Dear mother, pity me.
No gilleon's blood was e'er so red.
Dear son, pray tell unto me.
Tis the blood of my dear brother.
O mother, pity me.
Tis the blood of my dear brother.
O mother, pity me.
What will you do when your father comes home?
Dear son, tell unto me.
I'll get aboard of yonder ship
And sail away to sea.
I'll get aboard of yonder ship
And sail away to sea.
When will you return, my son?
Dear son, pray tell unto me.
When the sun and the mood set on yonder hill,
And that will never be.
When the sun and the moon set on yonder hill,
And that will never be.
