it was a' for our rightfu' king

it was a' for our rightfu' king

we left fair scotland's strand;

it was a' for our rightfu' king

we e'er saw irish land, my dear,

we e'er saw irish land.

now a' is done that men can do,

and a' is done in vain;

my love and native land fareweel,

for i maun cross the main, my dear,

for i maun cross the main.

he turn'd him right and round about,

upon the irish shore;
