[from Manx Ballads, 1896]

YN EIREY CRONK YN OLLEE.  

THE HEIR OF CATTLE HILL.

 

TA mish eirey Cronk Yn Ollee Beg,
She shoh t'ad ooilley gra ;
As ver Bella lane yn caart dou,
Dy chooilley traa t'ayms paagh.

 

I AM the heir of the Cattle Hill,
That is what they all say;
And Bella will fill the quart for me,
Whenever I am thirsty.
