This traditional Irish song was originally written by Máirtín Ó Clochartaigh and Pádraic Ó Maille of Leitir Caladh in 1911. Other people have since added verses.
Curfá-Chorus
O gairim gairim í,
Agus gairim í, mo stór;
Míle grá le m'anam í
'Sí Peigín Leitir Móir!
Éirigh suas, a Pheigín
Agus seas ar bharr an aird
Comhar do chuid bullán
Agus féach an bhfuil siad ann.

Curfá-Chorus

Tá Bríd agam 's tá Cáit agam
'Sí Peig an bhean is fearr;
Pé'r bith fear a gheobhas í,
Nach air a bhéas an t-ádh.

Alternative...
Ta caora 'gam, is Cáit 'gam
ach Peig an bhean is fearr
Cibe fear a gheobhas í
nach air a bhéas an t-ádh?

Curfá-Chorus

Chuir mé scéala siar chuici
Go gceannóin di bád mór;
'Sé'n scéala 'chuir sí anair chugam
go ndéanfadh leathbhád seoil.

Curfá-Chorus

Tá iascairí na Gaillimhe
Ag teacht anior le cóir
Le solas gealaí gile
Nó go bhfeicidís an tseoid.

Curfá deiridh -- Twist to last chorus

'S ó, gairim, gairim í
'Gus gairim í mo stór
Míle grá le m'anam í
Is gearr go mbeidh sí mór!

Peggy Lettermore
Chorus
Oh I call her, call her
and I call my sweetheart;
1000 loves to her
my Peggy of Lettermore.
Oh arise, my Peggy,
and stand on the brow of the hill;
Count your bullocks
and see if they are (all) there.
Chorus
I have Brigid; I have Kate
(but) Peggy is the best woman;
Whichever man gets her,
it's he will be the lucky one.
Chorus
I sent news to her
that I would buy her a big boat;
She sent word back to me
that she would make a suit of sails.
Chorus
The fishermen of Galway
are coming east under a fair wind
With bright, white lights
so that they may see the jewel.
Final chorus
Oh I call her, call her
and I call my sweetheart;
1000 loves to her
Soon she will be big
