    Taimín bán
    Fuair mé an píosa seo ó Bhríghid, Bean Uí Dhroighneáin, Cnocán Glas. Fuair sise ón a máthair é - Máire Ní Ghráinne, Lettermuckoo, inaice le Carraroe, Co. na Gaillimhe.
    Réidh tigheacht chun tórraimh dhom
    Séadh chonnaiceas stór mo chroidhe
    Is truagh ghéar nach chuig baile bhí mé
    I leabaidh mo luighe tinn
    Tá arrain tigheacht treasna romham
    Tá sí ag goileadh ar mo chroidhe
    Dhá mbeadh Taimín Bán ag baile liom
    Ní bhfada liom an oidhche.

    Sé Taimín Bán dá riargán
    Níor mhaith liom thú bheith tinn
    Ní h-ionghnadh liom do mháthair
    bheith cráidhte in do dhiaidh
    Ní cás thú bheith ag baile
    Ar do leabaidh id' luighe tinn
    Nach crochta 'muigh i saltrochuidhe
    'San bhastigh le do dhruim.

    A Thomáis Bháin 's a handsome
    Is tú rún is grádh mo chroidhe
    Tháinig tú ar chuairt 'am
    Is mé in uaigneas luighe liom féin
