| Lal of Kilrudden with flame red hair | B |
| And the sea blue eyes that rove and dare | B |
| And the open heart with never a care | B |
| With her strong brown arms and her ankles bare | B |
| God in heaven but she was fair | B |
| That night the storm put in from sea | C |

| The nightingales of Inishkill | A |
| The rose that climbed her window sill | A |

| With half of the lifeboat's crew away | E |
| Who should push to the front and say | E |
| I will be one be others who may | E |
| But Lal of Kilrudden born at sea | C |
| - | |
| The nightingales all night in the rain | F |
| The rose that fell at her window pane | F |
| The frost that blackened the purple plain | F |
| And the scorn of pitiless disdain | F |
| At the hands of the wolfish pirate main | F |
| Quelling her great hot heart in vain | F |
| Were all she knew of death | G |
| - | |
| Kilrudden ford Kilrudden dale | A |
| Kilrudden ruined in the gale | A |
| That wrecked the coast of Inishfree | E |
| And Lal's last bed the plunging sea | C |
