“Iomairibh eutrom ho ro (Row Lightly)”

Description

In Scots Gaelic; "The milkmaid went to the seashore/And she did a thing that others would not do there/She gathered shell-fish at high tide there/And she broke her leg and cut her hand there." Chorus: "Row lightly, ho ro"

Notes

Why do I get the feeling something else happened to the milkmaid? - PJS
