Oh Mo Dhuthaich lyrics

An emigrant song in praise of Uist. The beautiful words were written
by Allan MacPhee who lived at Loch Carnan, South Uist.
O mo dhuthaich stu th air m aire
Uibhist chumhraidh ur anan gallan,
Far a faighte na daoin uaisle,
Far m bu dual do Mha ic Ailein.

Tir a mhurain, tir an eorna
Tir s am pailt a h-uile seorsa
Far am bi na gillean oga
Gabhail oran s g ol an lionna

Thig iad ugainn, carach, seolta
Gus ar mealladh far ar n-eolais;
Molaidh iad dhuinn Manitoba,
Duthaich fhuar gun ghual, gun mhoine.

Cha leig mi leas a bhith ga innse,
Nuair a ruigear, sann a chithear,
Samhradh goirid foghar sitheil,
Geamhradh fada na droch-shide

Nam biodh agam fhin de storas
Da dheis aodaich, paidhir bhrogan
Agus m fharadh bhith nam phoca
Sann air Uibhist dheanainn seoladh.
