according to Micheál Bowles in "Claisceadal 1" (Dún Laoghaire: Glendale Press,1985), the original authors of the song were named in An Claidheamh Soluis" in 1911 as Máirtín Ó Clochartaigh and Pádraic Ó Maille of Leitir Caladh, but the song has spread among the people and others have composed verses too. "Leitir Caladh is at the north end of Leitir Móir, across the bay from Cill Chiaráin. The bay is an inlet on the mainland due north from the Aran Islands."

Bowles includes some verses others than those posted on this thread back in 1997

D'eitigh sí fear airgid
Is d'eitigh sí fear ór,
Is d'eitigh sí fear eile acu
Aniar ón Iorras Mór.

Cuardaigh Oileán Árainn
Is thart faoi Chontae an Chláir,
M'fhocal dhuit, a Pháadraigín,
A sárú nól le fáil.

(She refused a man with silver and a man with gold,
& She refused another of them who came from Errismore.

Travel the island of Aran and round the County of Clare,
My word to you, Paddy, her better is not to be found.)

curfá/chorus:
Ó gairim gairim í
Agus gairim í mo stór
Grá mo chroí le m'anam ó
'S í Peigí Leitir Móir.)
