| Notes 1 | Tharruing Uilleam Mac Isaic anns a Phòn Mhòr, fiodh as a choille o chionn ghorid gus bùird a dheanamh dheth, agus o nach robh muillean gle fhaisg air laimh chaidh e féin a dh’ obair le sabh-mor agus rinn e bùird dhiubh e fein. An deigh gach dragh us saothair a fhuair e ’nan ceann, thainig fear fad-lamhach air choir eigin air feadh na h-oidhche agus sguab e leis a h-uile gin dhiu. ’S e so a dh’ aobharaich an t-oran. |
