This port (tune), a reel, is perhaps more familiar
to musicians by its English title ‘Jenny Dang the
Weaver.’ Based on the singing of Lachlann Dhòmhnaill
Nìll (Lachie Dan N. MacLellan).* I have sung it as I
heard it from Lachie, with the usual order of the turns
of the tune reversed.
Hò rò ghoid thu ‘n nighean,
Hò rò shlaod thu i,
Hò rò ghoid thu ‘n nighean,
Thug thu leat fo ‘n aodach i.
Shiod agad mar ghoid thu ‘n nighean,
Shiod agad mar shlaod thu i,
Shiod agad mar ghoid thu i,
Thug thu leat fo ‘n aodach i.

Hòro you stole the girl
Hòro you dragged her off 2x
Hòro you stole the girl
You took her under the bed covers
That's how you stole the girl
That's how you dragged her off 2x
That's how you stole the girl
You took her under the bed covers
