  2. Song

    “Do bhí bean uasal is i seal dá luadh liom.”

    Do bhí bean uasal is í seal dá luadh liom
    Do chuir sí suas liom ar Fóir Uí Ghéir
    Do ghabhas le stuaire trís na mbailtí móra
    Is do dhein sí cuach díom i lár an tsaoghail.
    Dá bhfaghainn-se a ceann siúd fé aonach a'teampaill
    Is go mbeinn-se arís im ádhbhar féin
    Ach anois táim tinn lag is gan fághail ar leigheas agam
    Go mbeidh mo mhuinntir ar ghol mo dhéidh.
    Táim tinn breóidhte is mo chos deas leóinte
    Ó ghabh an óigeas tharm isteach
    D'iarras póigín uair nó dhó uirthe
    Is do faghainn-se fuacht bheith a suidhe len a hais.
