DERVISH
"Maire Mor"
(Traditional)

Ta bean a'msa in Arainn Mhor
Is bean eile in Inis Bearachain
Ach mo ghra I Maire Mhor
Is I an bhean is fearr ar fad acu

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Is gra mo chroi mo stoirin
Is tu nach ndearfadh tada liom
Is tu a chuirfeadh na fatai mora
I dtaisc ar leic an teallaigh dhom

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Ni le faochain na le barnigh
Na le blath na scailliun dearga
A mheall mise Maire Mhor
Ach le fuisce laidir Shasana

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Mura dtiocfaidh tu mar gheall tu
Go mbaitear ins sa gcladach thu

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

A bhfeicfea Maire Mhor i
Dul sraideannai na Gaillimhe
Gan falach ar a braid
Ach cota mor a' charraera

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Da mbeinne 'n Arainn Mhor
Is mo bhad seoil bheith faoi lucht agam
Nach deas 'thornalfainn an rod
Ach Maire Mhor a bheith faoi deic agam

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Bhi yes aici 's bhi no aici
Is ar ndoigh bhi what not aici
Is murach lucht a' Bhearla
Nach gcuirfinn Dandy cap airthi

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Mura dtiocfaidh tu mar gheall tu
Go mbaitear ins sa gcladach thu

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?

Mura dtiocfaidh tu mar gheall tu
Go mbaitear ins sa gcladach thu

Is oro Mhaire Mhor
Is a Mhaire Mhor a dtiocfaidh tu?
