Some’ll drink at the fair the morrow,

And some’ll sup with the spoon of sorrow;

But whether they’ll get as far as Droichid

The night—well, who knows that but God?

[AS I CAME OVER THE GREY, GREY HILLS]

As I came over the grey, grey hills

And over the grey, grey water,

I saw the gilly leading on,

And the white Christ following after.

Where and where does the gilly lead?
