    Tá Doimnic Cosgrave thiar annseo sean-dhuine gan fónamh,
    Níl maith ar bith i mbaile ann maidin ná tráthnóna,
    Tá a bhean 'gus a pháistí sgrosta aige ag iarraidh bheith dhá thógháil,
    'S lá nach mbéidh tobac aige is giorra gach a chómharsa é,
    "Tabhair leat e 'gus leig domsa go fóil."

    Ná samhail liom do shean-duine
    Níl graith ar bith go fóil de,
    Dhó a chómh tabhairt fataí dhó a chómh fairsing sin sa bhFóghmhair,
    Níos mweasa ná chuid tacsa cuid tobac agus a bhróga,
    "Gluais ort a Sheáin agus bí liom".
