Tá taistealaí breá in sa tír
'S tá se scríofa ar a bord
Chuir me litir in sa phost
Agus gealltanas a post'
'S tú mo choill, choill, choill
'S tú mo choill gaineach ban
'S tú mo ghiolla dubh ar luaimh
Os ar ucht tú 'bheith slan
Tiocfaidh'n long in sa chuan
'S cuirfidh sí suas na driúrlann
Nuair a shilfeas a' fíon
Beidh an long ar a' trádh
Ó, níl agam ar a' t-saol
Ach an aon fear amháin
A chuir Aoife faoi shiúil
'S ar bord an "Man-of-War"
Nuair a théimse faoi shiúil
'S d'fhág mo rún leabaí fáin
Nuair a chuala mé mo rún
A bheith ar chúl na dtonn tréann
