Translation (the Son Of The Earl Of The) White Banners Lyrics - Singles - Mouth Music

I saw your longship on the sea 

There was a helm of gold on her, and two silver masts 

And shrowds of Galway silk 

Rich red silk from Spain 

It was not in Glasgow that it was (seen) 

Nor in Dunvegan, small and lowly 

Nor in Duntulm of the white banners ! 

From Colum Johnston (Barra), School of Scottish Studies recording. 

- usually though of as a 'waulking song', the performance here is as it might have been on 

board 

a ship.
