  1. Amhrán - Caiptín Máilleach

    A Shluipín mhachan dár liom ba lághach thú
    Nuair a tháinig tú ingar duinn i gCeann aníar,
    Ní raibh grían ná geallach ann, ach gaoth mór is báisteach
    Gan fios ce'n cearn a raibh do thriall.

    Ba gheal le eiilit thú imeasg na námad
    Ba luaithe ar an t-snámh thú go mór na an ghaoth.
    Gurbh é an áit a rith sí - isteach River Gráine,
    Is i gCeibh na Róighthe seadh chaith sí an oidhche.

    Nach i gCéibh na Róighthe a chuala mé an garbhuaic,
    Ag mná is ag páistidhe mar a bheadh slúagh sidhe,
    Ag cur tuairisg' ar Pettigó ná an Caiptín Máilleach
    Na roinn d'en cargó a tháinig i dtír.

    Dá gcuirtí Cotton ort narbh fhiú do thréathan
