Maire Mor - Dervish

Tá bean a’msa in Arainn Mhór

Is bean eile in Inis Bearachain

Ach mo ghrá i Maire Mhór

Is i an bhean is fearr ar fad acu

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

Is grá mo chroí mo stóirin

Is tú nach ndearfadh tada liom

Is tú a chuirfeadh na fataí móra

I dtaisc ar leic an teallaigh dhom

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

Ni le faochain na le barnigh

Na le blath na scailliún dearga

A mheall mise Maire Mhór

Ach le fuisce láidir Shasana

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

Mura dtiocfaidh tu mar gheall tú

Go mbáitear ins sa gcladach thú

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

A bhfeicfeá Maire Mhór i

Dul sráideannaí na Gaillimhe

Gan falach ar a bráid

Ach cóta mór a' charraera

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

Dá mbeinne 'n Arainn Mhór

Is mo bhád seoil bheith faoi lucht agam

Nach deas 'thornálfainn an ród

Ach Maire Mhór a bheith faoi deic agam

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tu?

Bhí yes aici 's bhí no aici

Is ar ndóigh bhí what not aici

Is murach lucht a' Bhéarla

Nach gcuirfinn Dandy cap airthi

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

Mura dtiocfaidh tú mar gheall tú

Go mbáitear ins sa gcladach thú

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

Mura dtiocfaidh tú mar gheall tú

Go mbáitear ins sa gcladach thú

Is oró Mhaire Mhór

Is a Mhaire Mhór a dtiocfaidh tú?

I have a wife in Arranmore

She is another woman in Inis Bearachain

But my love in Maire Mhór

She is the best woman of them all

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

My sweetheart is the love of my heart

You would say nothing to me

You are the one who planted the big potatoes

Deposited on the hearthstone for me

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

Not with whiting or barnacles

Na with the blossom of the red scallops

Which attracted me to Maire Mhór

But with a strong English whiskey

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

If you don't come because of you

That you are drowned in the shore

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

Would you see Maire Mhór in

Going through the streets of Galway

Not hiding from her

But the carrier's big coat

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

If I were in Arranmore

I have my sailboat under load

Wouldn't it be nice to turn the road

But I have Maire Mhór under deck

It's Mary's gold

Will you come, O Great Mary?

She had yes and she had no

Of course she had what not

It's not for the English

I wouldn't cap Dandy on her

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

If you don't come because of you

That you are drowned in the shore

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?

If you don't come because of you

That you are drowned in the shore

It's Mary's gold

Where will you come, Mary?
