There exists a thread for the traditional song "Caisleán Uí Néill," with variations on its verses.

Máire Ní Scolaí's recording of that song for HMV, with piano accompaniment, is limited to two verses only, possibly because of the time constraints of a 78 RPM single. Consultation of multiple editions of traditional Irish song in print, has got me practically nowhere with verse 1, except for Ní Scolaí's final line in the first verse:

Acht mo lámh faoi do cheann,
cead cainnt' leat go mbuailfidhe an dó-deug.   ....which wording I found in the Connacht collection, oddly enough, edited by Douglas Hyde. I simply cannot make out the words that come before these.


Verse 2 on this recording, it appears to me, was carefully revised so that it does not correspond exactly to a single printed version, but its lines are recognizeably distributed amongst printed versions, from Mrs. Eileen Costello -- "Galway and Mayo" -- to the archives at the Comhaltas website. This is the best I could do with the second verse.

Tá mo gháirdín breágh 'n-a fhásach,
agus a ghrádh gheal ní miste leat é?
Gach padhsae dhá áille
tá 'fás 'níos thrí bhárr glas na cré.
Ní chualas ceól cláirsí 'dhul an t-sráid seo,
ná ceiliúr na n-éan,
Ó d'éalaigh mo ghrádh uaim, cúl-- áluinn, go Caisleán uí Néill.
