B'fhearr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh

B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Na mar tha mi 'm bliadhna Compared to now
B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh Because the lads were coming to court me
B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Na mar tha mi 'm bliadhna Compared to now
B'fheārr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh Because the lads were coming to court me
   
Sčist: Chorus:
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
Mo dhuilichinn na rinn mi In what I did
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
Nach robh mi na mo mhaighdinn That didn't stay a maid
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
Mo dhuilichinn na rinn mi In what I did
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
Nach robh mi na mo mhaighdinn That didn't stay a maid
   
Tāillear a bha mi sireadh I had hoped for a tailor
Figheadair a fhuair mi But it was a weaver I ended up with
Tāillear a bha mi sireadh I had hoped for a tailor
Figheadair a fhuair mi But it was a weaver I ended up with
Tāillear a bha mi sireadh I had hoped for a tailor
Figheadair a fhuair mi But it was a weaver I ended up with
Tāillear a bha mi sireadh I had hoped for a tailor
Figheadair a fhuair mi But it was a weaver I ended up with
