THAILER A BHA ME SHERRIDH IS FEADER A THUAIR ME (A Tailor I was Seeking and Weaver that I got). AKA - "'B'fhearr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh." Scottish, Air and Reel (whole time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AA'BB. See note for “annotation:Miss Charlotte Alston Stewart's.” The Gaelic title has been modernized as “Taillear a bha mi sireadh is figheadair a fhuair mi.” The Gaelic words begin:
B'fhearr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh,
B'fheàrr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh
Na mar tha mi 'm bliadhna
B'fheàrr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh
Fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh
B'fheàrr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh
Na mar tha mi 'm bliadhna
B'fheàrr mar a bha mi 'n uiridh
Fir a'tighinn 'gam iarraidh
Chorus:
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn
Mo dhuilichinn na rinn mi
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn Nach robh mi na mo mhaighdinn
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn
Mo dhuilichinn na rinn mi
Ho ro mo dhuilichinn
Nach robh mi na mo mhaighdinn
Tàillear a bha mi sireadh
Figheadair a fhuair mi Tàillear a bha mi sireadh
Figheadair a fhuair mi Tàillear a bha mi sireadh
Figheadair a fhuair mi Tàillear a bha mi sireadh
Figheadair a fhuair mi
Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Compared to now
Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Because the lads were coming to court me
Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Compared to now
Wasn't I the happy lass last year
Because the lads were coming to court me
Chorus:
Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
'In what I did
Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
That didn't stay a maid
Oh ho wasn't I the idiot
'In what I did
Oh ho wasn't
I the idiot
That didn't stay a maid
