  1. Cáit Ó Garnabhile

    Share Share Post
    An raibh tú ríamh i Garnabhile,
    Nó an bhfacha tú an Garnabhile,
    An suairc bean óg i gcrúcha an óir,
    Sí Cáít mo stór ó Garnabhile..
    (nó) Sí Máire mo stór Ó Cnoc a'Cuillinn.

    Is gile í ná an eala ar línn
    Ná an sneachta ar bharr na craobha crainne
    Sí is mílse póg ná an brúach ar rós
    Sí Cáit mo stór ó Garnabhille.

    Is bínne ceol ná an lon's n'a 'n smól
    Na [?] ar barr na sallaigh
    Mar luing fe seóil sé cún mo stór
    Sí Cáit mo stóir ó Garnabhile
    IV
    Cúghatsa a Chríost a chuirim mo guídhe
    Má ta aon bhrígh i guídhe an fhile
    Gan brón gan dith gan cían gan cíos
    Ar Cáit sa buibhean ó Garnabhile.
