The song of a girl ravished away by the fairies in South Uist

My love, my love, let me home to my mother;

my love, my love, let me home, let me home;

my love, my love, let me home as you found me;

I came to call the cattle home.

I heard last night that my love was surrounded;

I climbed the hill by the light of the moon;

my love, my love, let me home as you found me:

I came to call the cattle home.

Though you gave me horses on halters,

though you gave me cattle and sheep,

though you gave me servants and footmen,

I came to call the cattle home.

My love, my love, let me home to my mother;

my love, my love, let me home, let me home;

my love, my love, let me home as you found me:

I came to call the cattle home.
