  1. Mo Bhuachaillín Donn

    Share Share Post
    My true love he dwells in the mountains,
    Like a war eagle fearless and free.
    By the side of the low tuning fountains
    That wander's through wide amlee
    For his soul has more valure and honour.
    Than a king with a palace and crown.
    For the blood of the race of O'Connor.
    Fills the veins of my "Buachaillín Donn".
    So céad míle fáilte I give him
    When he comes every Sunday to me.
