Is spealadóir beag sásta mé anall as a' Ghréig
Bíonn mo speal crochta liom agus bíodh uirthi 'n féar
Nuair a leagaim ar a' talamh é tógann mná na bfhearaibh í
I ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile in am bhaint an fhéir
Thiar i gCondae Shligigh 'tá mo mhuintir féin
Mo mhamaí is mo dhaidí 's mo chairde uilig go léir
Tá ór buí go práis acu 's níl dúil ar bith sa spráis acu
Is pósfaidh mise an spealadóir sé bhainfeadh 'n féar
In íochtar a' bhaile seo, tá an pháirc fhada réidh
Gan tor gan tom gan foscadh ann ach a aghaidh ar ár a'tsaoil
Tá giota beag le bearradh di 's ní mó ná chuir sí i dtalamh mé
I ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile in am bhaint an fhéir
Racaidh mé go hAlbain 's ní phillfidh mé go héag
Tiocfaidh mé 'na bhaile agus beidh mé brúite tinn
Guígí ar bhur bpaidrín achan oíche 'gabhail na leapa daoibh
Mo ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile in am bhaint an fhéir
A chailíní 's a chailíní ná trua libh mo scéal
Mise a' gabhail thar farraige 's gan cead pilleadh choích
Guígí ar bhur bpaidrín achan oíche 'gabhail na leapa daoibh
Mo ndúil go mbeinn sa bhaile 'gaibh in am bhaint an fhéir
