[From Manx Fairy Tales, 1911]

SCENE: A VILLAGE

Blackbird sings to Innkeeper's pretty daughter.

 

Kione jiarg, kione jiarg,
Apyrn doo, Apyrn doo,
Vel oo cheet ? Vel oo cheet ?
Skee fleau, skee fieam,
Lhondoo, Lhondoo.

Redhead, redhead,
Black apron, black apron,
Are you coming? Are you coining
Tired waiting, tired waiting,
Blackbird, Blackbird.
