- The following is a song which was composed locally for this chieftain.
My name is Domhnall Dhú.
I'm an outlaw bold and true
I've ranged this country through
From Saxon bondage free
Till I met a maiden fair
She had dark and curly hair
Oh she sank me in despair.
She is the dear maid to me.

My sires were princes grand within old Ireland
And many a knightly band
They held their castles free
Till the saxons with them throw
And an outlaw now I rove
Lamenting my first love
She is the dear maid to me.
