    Túirne Mháire

    Nach é túirne Máire túirne sásta
    Agus déarfadh a lán gur bréagh é
    Chaith sé seal in Úrlaigh Mháire
    Agus seachtmhain ar bhárr a tsléibhe.
    Níl lios na rath on Muaidh go tráigh
    Ná caith se seal dá bhréaghadh
    Agus ar bhárr Cnoc Meadhbh
    Bhí an tsíofróg mná ag sníomhadh adhbhar léine.

    This is the wheel that went far and near,
    Throughout this Irish nation,
    There's not a fort but it did resort,
    It spent a while in Newry.
    In Kilorkey hill the maiden lived
    That wrapped my wheel with fury.

    Seo é an túirne is doiligh a múineadh
    Le rap, le hút, le mártail,
    Sealbhán púcaí ag tigheacht ghá ndúiseacht
    In a dteach beag cumhang ar airnéal,
    An fearsad úr gur preab is gur lúb
    'Gus ní raibh sé in mo chumacht a shábháil.
