about

Cro Chinn tSaile (“the cattle fold of Kintail”) is a traditional Scottish song believed to have been written after the Battle of Sheriffmuir in the first Jacobite rebellion in 1715. Bill learned this tune from his first folk music records back in the '70s. We chose to highlight the more modern Celtic style of this song by including two instrumental verses featuring uillean pipes and whistle, with a bassline on the vielle.

Thèid mi dhachaigh, hó ró dhachaigh
Thèid mi dhachaigh Chrò Chinn t-Sàile.
Thèid mi dhachaigh, hó ró dhachaigh
Thèid mi dhachaigh Chrò Chinn t-Sàile.

Thèid mi leam fhìn ann, leam fhìn ann, leam fhìn ann,
Thèid mi leam fhìn ann, gun dàil ann.
Thèid mi leam fhìn ann, leam fhìn ann, leam fhìn ann,
Thèid mi dhachaigh Chrò Chinn t-Sàile.

Dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu,
Dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu, dha do thaigh Gheamraidh.
Dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu, dhachaigh thu,
Dha do thaigh Earraich 's dha do thaigh Samhraidh.

I will go home, ho ro, home,
I will go home, to the cattle fold of Kintail
I will go home, ho ro, home,
I will go home, to the cattle fold of Kintail

I will go myself there, myself there, myself there, myself there,
I will go myself there without delay.
I will go myself there, myself there, myself there, myself there,
I will go home to the cattle fold of Kintail.

Homeward you, homeward you, homeward you, homeward you,
Homeward you, homeward you to your winter house.
Homeward you, homeward you, homeward you, homeward you,
Homeward you to your spring house and to your summer house.
