  1. Ho rò mo nighean donn bhòideach/Gogan a' chinn mhòir/Chuir i glùin air a' bhodach (O, my pretty brown-haired girl/Gogan of the big head/She put her knee on the old man)

From the recording From Uig to Duluth

Lyrics

Gogan a'chinn mhòir (tune: The Hawthorn Tree of Cawdor)

Sèist:
Ruidhleadh Gogan a' chinn mhòir
Buaichaille nan gamhna X4

'S ann ort fhèin a tha na casan
'S chan e casan gallda
Cinn cho gairbhe ris a' chalpa '
‘S ainmeil air an danns' thu

Sèist

Gogan fhèin an gille gasda
Tha e math gu dannsa
Bidh e ruith air feadh nan nighean
A' mireag 's a' cainnt riuth'

TRANSLATION:
Gogan of the big head

Refrain:
Gogan of the big head would reel (dance)
Herder of the bullocks

It is you that has the fine legs,
and not Lowland legs.
Feet as brawny as the calves
And famous at dancing you are .

Refrain

Gogan himself, the lad
He is good at dancing
He runs among the girls
Flirting and chatting with them
