    Bean an Fhir Ruaidh
    1
    Nuair a theidhim thart siar go h-íóchtar Conndae na Midhe
    Bíonn na boltaí[?] ar mo chaolaibh agus míle glas ó sin suas
    'Dhia nach mé an truaighe is nach suaimhneas damh codladh na hoidhche
    Sí bean an Fhir Ruaidh rinne gual damh fríd cheartlár mo chroidhe.

    A bhruinneal gan smál goidén fáth le go bhfuil orm gruaim
    Nárbhé buachaillín bán b'fhearr lear-sa seal leat da luadh
    Ní cheilfead ar a' Phápa goidén fáth le go bhfuil orm gruaim
    Fá ruadh-bhean sa díogaoghtí[?] sínte gus leacht ós a cheann.

    Diúltaighim da mhaoin, do chios, do earraidh, is do ór
    Na nach feasach dhuit nidh ar bith chlaoidhfeadh aigneadh na ruaidh
    Dhia nach mé an truaighe is nach suaimhneas damh codhladh na h-oichche
    Sí bean an Fhir Ruiadh rinne gual damh fríd cheartlár mo chroidhe
