TOCHERLESS LASS [1], THE. AKA – "Ge d' tha mi gun Chrodh gun aighean," “Gun chrodh gun aighean,” “Lass without a dowry (The)," "Though I am motherless.” Scottish, Air and Pipe Tune (whole or 3/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. English folklorist Lucy Broadwood recorded the song on a wax cylinder from the singing of John MacLennan in 1908[1], and, in 1958, by Helen Creighton, from the singing of John Archie Campbell, of Heatherdale, Prince Edward Island. The Gaelic words begin:

Ged tha mi gun chrodh, gun aighean,
Gun chrodh-laoigh, gun chaoraich agam,
Ged tha mi gun chrodh, gun aighean,
Gheibh mi fhathast òigear grinn.

Fhir a dh'imicheas thar chuantan,
Giùlain mìle beannachd uamsa
Dh'ionnsaidh òigeir a' chùil dualaich,
Ged nach d'fhuair mi e dhomh fhìn.

Translation:

Though I've neither sheep nor cattle,
Gear nor grandeur, goods nor chattels;
Though I've neither sheep nor cattle,
Yet a gallant true I'll find.

Thou that sail'st across the billow,
Tell my youth, with voice so mellow,
That I'd sleep without a pillow
Were he only by my side.
