    “Bhí mé lá taobh thoir go Gaillimh ¶ Is mé ag tarraingt ar an gCláir”

    Bhí mé lá taobh thoir go Gaillimh
    Is mé ag tarraingt ar an gCláir
    Casadh (caill) cailín óg dom bhí muslin ar a brághaid
    An tusa bean an tsean-dhuinín
    Is é mp creach is mo crádh.
    Dhá mbeinn i mo luidhe go Samhain
    leis ní iomplóchaidh liom anall.

    Bhí dhá shúil caoine glasa ann
    Agus a cheann a dul sa bfód boga leat is na badráil mé
    Is tú giolla an chlamhsáin mhóir
    Is maith an maor sa mbaile mé
    Ní dhéanfainn troid ná gleo
    Tá béasa is fearr ná sin agam bhréagfainn cailín óg.
