    Sliabh Liag
    A shliabh Liag mo ghrádh
    Nach tú atá gan crádh?
    Ann do luighe go suaimhneach cois fairrge[?]
    Ins an oidhche go mall
    Cluinim scairt na nGall
    Ag seoladh a mbádaí go h-Éireann.
    Is tú an sliabh is mó
    Ar a bhfuil cliú ar fud an domhain
    Ar do ailneacht[?] is uaisleacht gan amhras
    Nuair a dhearcaim ort gach neoin
    Faoi cheo an speir mhóir
    Tig mearblán ann[?] mo cheann ag amharc ort.
    Tá na caoirigh ar do bhárr
    Mar bhéadh duilleogaí ar chrann
    Ag inigilt go suaimhneach sóghach
    Tá na sidheogaí ins na poill
    Agus an gearrfaidh gan mhoill
    'Gus na crainn ag cromadh a gcinn romhat.
