Mo Ghuth lyrics

'S e cù a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean cu)

'S e cù a th'annam

'S e cù a th'annam an diugh

'S e cat a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean càt)

'S e cat a th'annam

'S e cat a th'annam an diugh

'S e bò a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean bò)

'S e bò a th'annam

'S e bò a th'annam an diugh

'S e cearc a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean cearc)

'S e cearc a th'annam

'S e cearc a th'annam an diugh

'S e muc a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean muc)

'S e muc a th'annam

'S e muc a th'annam an diugh

'S e caorach a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean caorach)

'S e caoarch a th'annam

'S e caorach a th'annam an diugh

'S e tunnag a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean tunnag)

'S e tunnag a th'annam

'S e tunnag a th'annam an diugh

'S e muncaidh a th'annam, is e seo mo ghuth,

(fuaimean muncaidh)

'S e muncaidh a th'annam

'S e muncaidh a th'annam an diugh

'S e muncaidh a th'annam an diugh.
