    Beir litir uaim go Connacht
    Go dtí an Óg bruinneal Shuairc,
    Geallaim gur bé 's Fada liom atá sí uaim.
    Inid coinne a bhí eadrainn i Sliabh barr Suain

    Ó, is truagh nar cailleadh mé amuigh ar an sliabh.
    San áit a mbeadh mo cnámha dá bpiocadh ag an bfeach
    Is truagh liom gur thuit mé ingrádh leat
    A Neilí bhán na Sliabh
    Is mo mallacht ar do mháthair nar b'áil leí mise dhuit mar Chliamhain.
