Unknown Lochaber Bards. 215<br />

'So 'n turns 'tluij^ i dh-Eirinn,<br />

A (111 'fhug f(im cheile cadail mi,<br />

Mo climobh tha 'n d^igli a lusgadli<br />

Gun snothach iir gun niheangain oirr'.<br />

Gur troni, tr:)ni, &c.<br />

I could not trace tlio author of the following song oitlior,<br />

liut it has a lino swing about it when sung by a chorus of hoarty<br />

Highlanders, waving their pocket handkerchiefs in the orthodox<br />

fashion. When the Canierons of Uruini-na-Saille got too numerous<br />

to remain t<strong>here</strong> with comfort, they hived off to Sunart, and<br />

the chieftain of the party that removed took up iiis abode at<br />

Kintrh.. w<strong>here</strong> they became known as Sliochd Iain duibh Cheannti'ii.<br />

This song must have been composed on a gentleman of that<br />

family.<br />

Oh hi, hog i o<br />

Ho ro no ho ro gheallaidh<br />

Oh hi, hog i o<br />

Fhir a dhireiis a' ghuallain<br />

Giullain uamsa mile beannachd,<br />

Oh hi, &c.<br />

Thoir mo shoraidh gu Ceann-tri<br />

Far bheil faileatlh a' bharraich,<br />

Oh hi, &c.<br />

Far am bheil doireachan dliitha<br />

'Us cnothan a' liibadh gach meangain,<br />

Ho hi, &c.<br />

Far am bi a' nihil 's an t-S^mhradh<br />

'Sileadh bho gach crann do'n darach.<br />

Ho hi hog i o<br />

Far am ])i 'n crodh-laoigh 's a' bhairich<br />

Tighinn gu pairceannan a' bhainne.<br />

Ho hi &c.<br />

A dh' ionnsaidh talla nan uaislean<br />

Ga 'm bu dual bhi 'n Druim-na-Saille<br />

Ho hi &c.<br />

Ach Iain oig 'ic Iain 'ic Shoumais<br />

Thug tlni air na c6udan barrachd,<br />

Ho hi &c.
