I didn't find them either. Just references to the Rankin Family (Cape Breton?) recording it. George? over to you.

The Rankin Family's sound clip of "O Tha Mo Dhuil Ruit (Oh How I Love Thee)" is HERE.

O tha mo dhùil ruit

fonn:
O tha mo dhùil ruit
Tha's bi mo dhùil ruit
'Og a chuir mi ùidh
Ann an cùirtear na feile

Caomh leam an t-òigear
Dh'fhalbh uainn Di-Dòmhnaich
'Se bhi nochd, a seòladh
Thug deòir mo léirsinn

Gheall e bhi dìleas
'S cinnt leam gur fìor e
Ged tha mi'n diugh to mhì-ghean
Gun sgrìobhadh 'o méudail

'S diomhain bhi tùrsach
'S deòir air mo shùilean
Chaoidh cha chuir e cùl rium
Mo run-sa cha tréig mi

Com as grinne nàdur
Beul as binne mànran
Rognaich mi thar chàche
'S gur tràth thag mi spéis da

Gann biodh ar storas
Mòr bidh ar sòlas
Gach làtha mar bu chòir dhuinn
A' còmhnadh a chéile


O I love you
I do and always will love you
I was young when I fell in love
with the generous young lad

I love the youth
who left here on Sunday
Because he is on the sea tonight
that is why I weep

He promised to be true
I am sure he told the truth
Although I am sad today
without a letter from my love

It is vain to be unhappy
with tears in my eyes
He will never leave me
My love will not desert me

He has the finest nature
and the sweetest sounding speech
I chose him above all the rest
I was young when I loved him

Though our wealth may be small
great will be our happiness
every day as it should be
supporting one another

Excellent. Now, can anyone give us the tune? Do the Rankins name their source?

Argh. Don't know abc well enough to write up the tune, but the album it comes from is Uprooted, by the Rankins. There are a couple of other ones that make the album a great buy! I'm not crazy about everything they do, as I'm big on lyrics NOT being sophomoric, but they have a nice sound and everything they sing is right in my range! (It makes singing along in the car or whatever just perfect....)
