Amhrán
“Nellí Bháin súidh síos lámh liom ¶ A cuisle geal mo chroidhe”
Amhrán.Nellí bháin suidh síos lámh liom. A cuisle geal mo chroidhe. Leog mo láimh ar do bhráid-se Nuair ní bhaireann-se mí.
Mar do snámh fínse tSúir Agus a t-Sionan geal a tídhigh. Thugais an báir leat ó mhnáibh, Deasa ó mhaireann Loch Ríogh
(II) Nelly dear sit down here, Your my own hearts delight, Leave my hand in your bosom, Or I won't live a year, For I’d swim the lonely Suir, And the Shannon after thee, For your equals in Loch Ree I never yet did see
( III ) Beir leitir síos go Connacht uaim. Go dtí um Spéar-bhean shuabhach, Go dtí an Valintine is fada liom a bhíonn sí uaim. Dar bé an tSoinin gheal a chinaibh í bhí lán go bruach.
