This is a traditional Irish song which has been arranged by Roibéard Ó Bogail. The middle part of the song is not traditional and was added to tie the song in with the theme of the E.P.

lyrics

An raibh tú ar an gCarraig
Nó an bhfaca tú féin mo ghrá,
Nó an bhfaca tú gile agus finne agus scéimh na mná,
Nó an bhfaca tú an t-úll ba chumhra is ba mhilse bláth,
Nó an bhfaca tú mo vaillintín nó an bhfuil sí á cloí mar 'táim ?

Ní carraig í, ach bean bealtais blásta
I rith na mílaoise - na mílte féastaí
Caite ina haonair - an Bean ón Bhéara
Bandia ab ea í, is ea í, agus a bheidh inti
Ón fainne ama go dtí an deireadh
Buí Bhéara
Deirtear gur iompaigh sí ina carraig
Tar eis Chionn tSáile
Nuair a d'imigh an rí Domhnall Cam thar sáile.

Do bhíos-sa ar an gCarraig
Is do chonaic mé féin do ghrá,
Do chonaic mé gile agus finne agus scéimh na mná,
Do chonaic mé an t-úll ba chumhra is ba mhilse bláth,
Do chonaic mé do vaillintín agus níl sí á cloí mar 'táir ?
