Irish

English

I have a wife in Aranmore
And another wife in Inis Bearachain
But my love is Máire Mhór
She is the best woman

Chorus:
And oh Maire Mhor
And oh Maire Mhor, will you come?

Oh my darling and my dear
Sure you'd never say a word to me
Big praties you'd have hid
And roastin' on the hearth for me

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

And if you say you won't
I hope you drown in the shore

(Chorus)

If you saw Maire Mhor
In the streets of Galway
Gan falach ar a braid
Ach cota mor a' charrara

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

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

(Chorus)

And if you say you won't
I hope you drown in the shore

(Chorus)

And if you say you won't
I hope you drown in the shore

(Chorus)
