“I got the following little song from Mr Hubert Forde, farmer, of Dernageer, Ballinaghera, Co. Leitrim.”
(continued from previous page)Nuair a bhfuigidh mé fhéin na béirthigh ? breágh sin,
Fothún ann do buidhe
Luighfidh mé siar agus gheobhaidh mé bás ann
Is oró rath mo chroidhe
Cuirigid duine 'na coille a bhainfeas a' t-adhmad
Fothún ann do buidhe,
Cuileann coc cuilinn ? agus dhá mhaide fearna
Is oró rath mo chroidhe.
Nuair a fuair mé féin na béirthigh ? gránda,
Fothún ann do buidhe
Léim mé aniar ón tábla láithreach,
Is oró rath mo chroidhe.
Bhuail mé cic uirthi síos le fánaidh,
Fothún ann do buidhe,
An dara cic go tobar Pádraig,
Is oró rath mo chroidhe
Mur bean mo bhean a's mur bean mo mháthair,
Fothún ann do buidhe,
Bheadh sgéal eile le rádh leat
Is oró rath mo chroidhe.
Sgéal indiu agus sgéal i mbárach,
Fothún ann do buidhe(continues on next page)
