| The hound of Culann, The hound of Ulster | 
| He is of the otherworld | 
| His father is god Lugh Lamhfada | 
| His mother Dectire is mortal | 
| Culann the smith was holding a feast | 
| For the Ard Ro Conchobhar | 
| His mighty hound had been unleashed | 
| To guard the fortress' mighty door | 
| Setanta arrived late at the gates | 
| He did not know of Culann’s hound | 
| The hound attacked and met his fate | 
| It lay there dead upon the ground | 
| Culann was angered when he learned | 
| His favourite hound was no more | 
| But Setanta swore he’d stay at night | 
| To guard the fortress' mighty door | 
| He took up arms on the day | 
| Which Cathbad declared auspicious | 
| He who took arms on that day | 
| Would become famous but short lived | 
| His body begins to twist and turn | 
| His flesh revolves within his skin | 
| His features turn red one by oine | 
| And the slaying then begins | 
| He returned to Eamhain Macha | 
| And threatened to destroy the town | 
| The naked women were then brought forth | 
| He then began to calm down | 
| He fell in love with Emer | 
| Her father was appaled | 
| No warrior shall be with her | 
| Unless by Domhnall he is called | 
| He went to train with Domhnall | 
| And learned from him all that he could | 
| You must go and train with Scathach | 
| He bowed his head and said he would | 
| Having learned the martial arts he | 
| Returned to claim the hand of Emer | 
| Her father quickly refused | 
| Cuchulainn showed his battle temper | 
| He entered the fortress and left many | 
| Of the warriors dead | 
| Emer’s father killed himself | 
| The lovers were later wed | 
| Cuchulainn the hound of Culann x 3 | 
| He is the son of a god | 
| Cuchulainn the hound of Culann x 3 | 
| Serpents and dragons he fought | 
| Cuchulainn solely defended Ulster | 
| During the might war of the Tain | 
| When Medb of Connacht invaded | 
| He stood his ground despite the pain | 
| He is called a tragic hero | 
| With Caladin his sword | 
| He killed his best friend Ferdiad | 
| At the battle of the ford | 
| Cuchulainn the hound of Culann x 3 | 
| He is the son of a god | 
| Cuchulainn the hound of Culann x 3 | 
| Serpents and dragons he fought | 
| In Cuchulainn’s final fight | 
| A javelin was thrown at him | 
| It sliced his stomach like a knife | 
| And caused his innards to fall out | 
| He staggered to a nearby lake | 
| Where he took a final drink | 
| A raven who was drinking his blood | 
| Tripped over his intestines | 
| The hero gave a last great laugh | 
| And tied himself to a stone | 
| He faced his enemies standing up | 
| But he knew his life was quickly going | 
| For three days the foe were scared | 
| Until a crow perched on his arm | 
| An otter began to drink his blood | 
| Cuchulainn is dead is what they said |
