A Local Song
“Is buachaillín fíor-óg mé agus go bfoiridh orm Rí na nGrás...”
The following is a song which was common in this area up to about sixty years ago."Is buacaillín fíor-óg mé agus go bfóiridh orm
Rí na nGrás
Do thus search do cailín óg i dtig an óil agus í
'na cóiriúghadh dheas
Ní raibh hata uirthi na [?] na búchla buidhe do
bhéadh deanta pras.
Ach céip a'gluaise bróige,
Sé mo ctór í chor a bfheach 'a mhnáibh.Lean lom Dia na n-Arann tá an bás ag an
chroidhe le tart,
Faigh'se an gloine lan dom agus an cairtín beag
díghe le n-ais
Beirim cúineas gearr ar a' gclár agus cuir-se
scalc,
Súid faoi thur(tuairim) a sláinte an cúlfáinnig
mo chailín deas.D'árdhuigheas liom mo bolacht go bronach i gcóir na
slíghe
Cé casfaí orm sa ród ach an óigh-bhean ba gile píob,
Níor cuir sí suim im' glórthaibh(continues on next page)
