Dark Iniseoghain

The maidens of beauty and swains so forlorn

That carelessly wander away from your home

I am off by the moonlight and break of the morning

I'll be found in the mountains of dark Iniseoghain

I strayed to a place they call sweet Clonmany

In search of a fair one that I might adore

But a maiden to love me, I couldn't find any

From Meendoran Bridge to the Gap of Mamore

But then in the shades of old Barnan I found you

That valley o'ershadowed by mountains so grand

And I prayed that God's angels would ever protect you

And I placed a keepsake in your little white hand

And now I am stationed in County Fermanagh

Far from the fair one that I do adore

But when I return it will be to my dear one

That I left in the mountains of dark Iniseoghain
