Os inniu gan bó
Gan a' dhá phingin spré
Leagfainn fúm thú maidin drúchta
Le bánú 'n lae
Mo dhá lámh dúnta gan mé gus tú
A ghrá mo chléibh
I gcaiseal mumhan 's gan a leabaí fúinn
Ach an chlár bog déil
Bean solastach ní mholfaidh mé
's ní cháinfidh mé í
Bean dorcha ní ghlacfaidh mé
Go deo mar mhnaoi
Cha ní ná an babaí shantach
Ach mar gheall ar mhaoin
Ach pósfaidh mé mo stórín
'sí grá mo chroí
Ná síl cé gurb íseal
Nó uasal mé
Ná síl gur insan díog adaí
A fuarthas mé
Sín síos liom seal míosa
'gus cuartaí ann mé
's gheobhaidh tú scríofa in mo thaobh dheas
Gur an buachaill mé
Tá líofacht labhairt gaeilge
Agus canúint mhaith chrua
Scríobhfaidh mé 'na dhiaidh sin
Le barr mo phinn
Loch éirne 'á shnámhfainn
Ar chúl mo cheann
's dá dtéadh agam bean a bhréagadh
Bheadh an báire liom
