Amhrán (continued)
“Mo chreach is mo chás mar is claoite an galar an grádh”
(continued from previous page)Ó imthig sé uaim ní mhór go mhothuighim an láIs fada liom féin go d'téigheann an tuille chun trágha
Is fada liom féin go ndéantar oidhche don lá.
Is fada liom féin go ghlaodhann an coilleac go h-árd
Ór bhfearr liom ná an t-saoghal go mbeinn féin i bhfocair mo ghrádh.A chailín bhig óig ná phós an sean-duine líath.
Pós búachaill óg mo bhrón mar a maireadh sé ach blían
Tán tú bog óg agus fós níor tháinig dhuit cíall.
Má mhaireann tú beó beidh óige ar sudar id dhíaidh.Mo chreac is mo chás mar a chátann sé sneachta agus sioc.
Agus mise is mo ghrádh ar lár na fairrge amuich.
Gan long is gan bád gar árthac againn ar bith
Acht mise ag snámh is mo dhá laimh casta sa crios.
