about

"But Mary Macrae heeded not, and went on in her own way, singing her songs and ballads, intoning her hymns and incantations and chanting her own port-a-beul (mouth-music) - and dancing to her own shadow when nothing better was available" Carmina Gaelic, The inscription to the music "Dance to Your Shadow" 1909
Noted from the singing of Marion MacLeod, Eigg 1909

lyrics

Ho ro haradal "Hind ye" haradal, Ho ro haradal "Hind Ye" han dan (repeat).
Dance to your shadow when it's good to be living, lad. Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near you. Dance to your shadow when it's fine to be living, lad. Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near you. Ho ro haradal "Hind ye" haradal, Ho ro haradal "Hind Ye" han dan (repeat). Dance to your shadow when it's hard to be living, lad. Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near you. Dance to your shadow when it's sore to be living, lad. Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near you. Ho ro haradal "Hind ye" haradal, Ho ro haradal "Hind Ye" han dan (repeat). Dance to your shadow and let Fate to her fiddle, lad. Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near you. Dance to your shadow for it's fine to be living, lad. Dance to your shadow when there's nothing better near you. Ho ro haradal "Hind ye" haradal, Ho ro haradal "Hind Ye" han dan (repeat).
