Unpublished Irish Songs - Barr an tSléibhe
“A Mháire tá díthchéille ort,”
A Mháire tá díthchéille ort,
Nach dtigeann 'un a' t-sléibhe
Is gan mise bheith in éinfeacht,
Liom féin ins an oidhch'
Tá do theach ghá dhéanamh
Agus rúmaí geal' n-a éádan,
'S dá mairfeá-sa ann céád bliadhain
Níor bhfada leat do shaoghal.
(II)Tá na comharsanna ar gach taobh dhíot
Is fearr dhá bhfuil i nÉirinn,
Is binn guth na n-éan
Ins na gleannta a' dul a luighe
'S go mbfearr dhuit ann ar bhéile,
Ná dá bhfághfá plúir is tae innseo
Is ní racha' tú go h-éag
'Un an Gheata Mhóir aríst..
Tá bearnai ins an amhrán as seo amach ach seo línte eile:-Is nach deas é Bárr an t-Sléibhe
Nuair a bhíonns an ghrian ag éirighe,
Ní'l sneacht ' ar bhárr a' chraoibh ann
Ná sioc i ndiaidh na h-oidhch'
