Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò
Ill ù ill ò cha d'fhuair mi 'n cadal Ill ù ill ò I didn't get any sleep
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò
   
'S ann air madainn mhoich Di Dòmhnaich Early Sunday morning
Dh'òrdaich mi bhi aig a' bhaile I wished to be at home
   
Far am bitheadh na frolaigean sunndach Where there were merry frolics
'S fir 'gan rùsgadh dol a shabaid And men stripping off to fight
   
'Illean a chaidil an oidhche Boys who slept through the night
Bithibh taingeil anns a' mhadainn Be thankful in the morning
   
Mise seo a' dìreadh chrann I'm here climbing masts
'S sibhse 'tarraing srann fon phlaididh While you're snoring under the blankets
   
Nuair a théid mi Bhràigh na h-Aibhneadh When I will reach Bràigh na h-Aibhneadh
Bidh mo chuimhn' air oidhche Shathuirn' I will remember what it was like on Saturday night
