‘With head uncovered swear we all
To bear it onward till we fall;
Come dungeons dark or gallows grim,
This song shall be our parting hymn‘
‘Nach mór an cliú do phoball Carna ó thosuigh an lánmhain seo ag dul thrid
Ba deise breághtha méin na mná ná an Morning Star nuair d’eirigheócha sí
Tá an Bhanríoghan tinn is i na luighe lag síos, deir na dochtúirí go bhfaoi sí bás
Sé fios m’údair go ndeir siad liomsa faoi nach bhfuil sí pósta ag Mr Joyce.’
‘You’d think the whole country of Erin was waiting to get on the boat.
There’s accents from Antrim to Kerry, from Westport to the high hills of Howth.
And in no time, we’re into Dun Laoghaire, and the dawn rising clear in the sky.
I’m on the last leg of my journey. It’s hello to the fair Aran Isles.’

Of all the money that e’er I had / I have spent it in good company
Oh and all the harm I’ve ever done / Alas, it was to none but me
all welcome – musicians, singers and listeners
‘And that’s what we mean when we say that a thing
Is welcome as flowers that bloom in the spring.
Tra la la la la la, la’
Maire with the Corn Uí Riada Cup, 2019
‘A ógánaigh óig dá siúlfá an ród liom / Ba deas do lóistín is do leaba luí
Bheadh fliúit is orgán ag seinm ceoil duit / A thógfadh an brón seo go léir ód’ chroí.’

‘There’s coopers there an curers there an buyers, canny chiels
An lassies at the picklin an ithers at the creels
An you’ll wish the fish had been a’ left in the sea
By the time you finish guttin herrin on the Yarmouth quay’.
