[Verse 1]
It's with Kitty I’ll go for a ramble
Over the mountains wild
Where the blackbirds nest in the brambles
In the home where the eagle chides
Or in some lonely valley
Where the birds in the evening nest
And mine with their prayers would mingle
For the sun to hurry west

[Verse 2]
Oh, my darling wee lark of the heather
Her voice is so sweet to me
As the stars all singing together
Whеre the mountains sweep down to the sеa
And all of Erin's bright treasures
All her beautiful locks and rills
Cannot equal one smile from my Caitlin
My queen of the heathery hills

[Verse 3]
Oh, I'll buy the roughest of raiment
To last out the life of man
My whiskers unkempt and unshaven
’Til the reach is a mile in span
Like the fleece of the grey mountain wether
They'll tumble and dangle around
If I don't get a wife in the heather
I'll try in the low, low ground
