    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

    Where chieftains did reside
    I'd for ever stray with that maid so gay
    Down by sweet Loughgur side

    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 side
    3.
