about

Shule Aroon
Traditional
Based on variants of the titles, "Johnny Has Gone For A Soldier", "Gone the Rainbow", "Wild Geese" and "On Buttermilk Hill", this song is thought to date back at least 400 years to the Elizabethan era.
In the Irish language, shall aroon translates "ramble away with me, my love".

lyrics

Chorus:
Shule, shule, shule aroon
Time can only heal my woe
Since the lad of my heart from me did go
Oh, Johnny has gone for a soldier

I wish I were on yonder hill
It’s there I’d sit and cry my fill
Until every tear would turn a mill
Oh, Johnny has gone for a soldier...Chorus

Instrumental

I’ll sell my rock, I’ll sell my reel
I’ll sell my only spinning wheel
To buy my love a coat of steel
Oh, Johnny has gone for a soldier...Chorus

I’ll dye my petticoat, I’ll dye it red
And around the world I’ll beg my bread
Til I find my love alive or dead
Oh, Johnny has gone for a soldier...Chorus
