    I.
    Tháinig ár mór fá'n éánlaith a shnámhas go h-éadtrom,
    Níor bh'féarr leo an féar acu ná an t-iasg ar a líon.
    Ach na cupla lacha spéireamhal a bhí ag Peigí mar fhéirín,
    Ó, mo mhallacht don té shin, a bhain díobhtha na cinn.
    II Casadh an sionnach do Éamonn, sé labhair sé leis béarla,
    Sé dubhairt sé, "Good-day, sir, and where do you go?"
    " I cannot counsel it", ní cheilfeadh ó'n tsaoghal go ndeanfaidh muid féasta ort amuigh san Chró Mhór.
    III. Ar Éamonn gur thárlaidh an sionnach an lá sin,
    Is é tarraingt go láidir amach thríd an mhóin.
    Bhí bog-ultach sásta de lachaibh go h-árd leis,
    Is é tarraingt, tarraingt go láidir amach thríd an mhóin
    IIII. A Shionnuigh, glac camhairle is na tar fa na bóithribh,
    Nó má's nidh go gcluin Eóin é ní fada do shaoghal,
    Tá an gunna aige i n-órdughadh fá choinne do thórraimh go gcuiridh sé an tóir ort amach as an tír.
    V. Má théighidh tú go Trian Iochtar, glac mo leith-sgéal go caothamhail;
    a's mínigh dul síos duit fá mo bhrón agus fá mo leathtrom; go bhfuil uain, agus caoirigh go leór ar gach taoibh díom; agus na fiú damh-sa críochnughadh go dtí an Fhéil Eóin.
    VI. Tá Domhnall Mac Suibhne go olc damh go cinnte,
    Ní rabh cara san domhan sin dá mbéadh siad mo chomhair.
