Comhairle a fuaireasa amuigh ar an mbóthar
Ó rógaire sagairt an seanduine a phósadh
Ach ba chuma leis siúd ach go méadóinn a phóca
Is go mbeinn fad a mhairfinn ag brath ar na comharsainn
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, loscadh is dó ort
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Is dá mbeinnse i mbéal dorais ná beirimse beo ort
Chuasa go Corcaigh ag triall ar ghléas tórraimh
Píopaí tobac agus cláracha comhrann
Ar mo theacht dom abhaile go tinn tuirseach brónach
Cá bhfaighinnse mo 'sheanduine ach ag róstadh muicfheola
Dá bhfaighinnse mo 'sheanduine báite i bpoll móna
A chosa bheith briste is a chnámha a bheith leonta
Do thabharfainn abhaile é is do dhéanfainn é a thórramh
Is do shiúllóinn amach leis na buachaillí óga
Má phósainn tú an seanduine, pósfaidh tú claidhaire
Fágfaidh sé a bhalcaisí romhat ar a staighre
A déanamh ar maidean beidh sé ag cnáimhseáil le claidhreacht
Is siar sa tráthnóna beidh ag seimint go meidhreach
Phósas an seanduine, is orm bhí díchéille
Dheineas an méid sin ar chomhairle mo ghaolta
Chuas abhaile leis faraoir an scéal sin
Is déiríos ar maidin is bfhearr liom an t-éag liom
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, loscadh is dó ort
Ó dheara 'sheanduine, leatsa ní gheobhadsa
Is cúpla Domhnach a chuirfidh fén bhfód thú
