“Baile an Mhullaigh agus Cinn Arda”
Brathair na Dúmha do chum
Baile an Mhullaigh agus Cinn Arda
Is aoibhinn aluinn Barra Ban
tCifid Urris uann is Malainn
Cruc na gCara iomadh am
Craig a Bhainsse (?) Lag is Grianan
Glac na Brada sin is Drong
Lag a Choire, Coill is Clára
Is ar an Annaigh ag d'ól mé dram.
Ag Carraic a Braitdhe(?) (recte (?)) a bhí mé an cead uair
Ins na Méalí seal ag ól;
Ag an caislean rinne mé ard leim (?)
In Ros Éanaigh ag deanamh pó
Bhí me ag iasgaireacht ag Traigh Bréage
Is in Glas Séide ba deas mo dhoigh
Shnamh mé an Barra isteach fa Strath Breige
Gur chiall na céádta nach rab mé beo
Bhí mé ar meisge ar Cruach na Gaoithe
Agus mo shuide areir go mall
As sin suas Gleann na Mínte
Is orm féin a rinneadh an fheall.
Toirdhealbhach Mac Loingsigh ó Min a Duibh a thug an dán so.
