left my baby lying here, Lying here, lying here
 I left my baby lying here
 To go and gather blaeberries.
 I found the wee brown otter's track
Otter's track, otter's track
 I found the wee brown otter's track
 But ne'er a trace o' my baby, O!
 I found the track of the swan on the lake
Swan on the lake, swan on the lake
 I found the track of the swan on the lake
 But not the track of baby, O!
 
 | I
found the track of the yellow fawn The yellow fawn, the yellow fawn;
 I found the track of the yellow fawn,
 But could not trace my baby O!
 I found the trail of the mountain mist
Mountain mist, mountain mist
 I found the trail of the mountain mist
 But ne'er a trace of baby, O!
 Hó-bhan, hó-bhan, Goiridh òg O,
Goiridh òg O, Goiridh òg O;
 Hó-bhan, hó-bhan, Goiridh òg O,
 I've lost my darling baby O!
