Fear Neo-ainmichte: This is Miss Annie Johnston, Glen, Barra, singing Clach Mhìn Mheallain.
Anna NicIain:
Clach mhìn mheallain san tobar ud thall
Clach mhìn mheallain san tobar ud thall.
Am buachaille bochd fo sgàil nan cnoc
A bhata fo uchd 's a dhealg na bhrot
'S e 'g iarraidh air Dia turadh is grian a chur ann.
Clach mhìn mheallain san tobar ud thall
Clach mhìn mheallain san tobar ud thall.
Am buachaille bochd fo sgàil nan cnoc
A bhata fo uchd 's a dhealg na bhrot
'S e 'g iarraidh air Dia turadh is grian a chur ann.
