    Lá dá rabhas ar lic, mo cheist ort cia bhí ag ól.
    Le na cheann, le na dhóirne, le na bhois
    Le bonnaibh a dhá chos do bhí sé ag ól.
    Cé ba mhinic a thaithige i dteach an óil
    Níor chaill pingin le beoir le bhliadhain
    Ba mhinic an donas i mbun a stóir
    Ní fhacas bonn in a phóca riamh
    Ba comhsholus oidhche dó agus lá
    A' troid do bhíodh de ghnáth fa'n mbiadh
    A' goid sa' bhroid, sa déanamh air
    Is mo bás do thug sé riamh
    Is i dtús a shaoghail bhí sé díomasach sealgaireach
    Bhí sé go sidruidhe cois griosaighe is fíorrchruit air.
