- I could only procure three verses of the second song so here they are.1.
I know a maiden fair and young
But I can't tell you her name
She lived not far from Loughgur side
That noted place of fame
Where Desmond's castles towering high
Where chieftains did reside
I'd for ever stray with that maid so gay
Down by sweet Loughgur side2.
Her hair is fair I do declare
And her eyes with love shine bright
The apple blossoms on her cheek
Her teeth like snow drift white
No maid so fair I could compare
From the Shannon to the [Glide?]
As that lovely queen
Mild and gentel
Who lives by Loughgur side3.
