    Sráid an Bhuachaill Ruaidh
    Bhí mé lá bréagh saimhraidh siubhal sráid an Buachaill Ruaidh,
    Maidín chiúin sa t-samhradh liom féin, bhí an drucht ‘na luighe,
    Tharla orm an plannda ba deise béile croidhe,
    Is mo cre rúnaidh, is í mó ansast í, sí an phlannda a chraidh mo chroidhe,
    Béidh leitir fríd na sleibhte le leitir chuicí [inaim]?
    Indheoin fheara beirt no go dtabharfhainn uirthí ruaig,
    Phógfhainn féin a béilín agus an aghaidh a bhí gan ghruaim,
    Na rabh míle maith ar a son aca, lucht bréag na Buachall Ruaidh
    II
    Buachaillín beag óg mé a thug mór - chion do mhnaoí,
    Is dá ngeallfhadh sí mó phósadh go dtogfhadh sí mó chroidhe.
    Níl airgead nó ór againn, nó seórt ar an t-saoghal mhór mar spré,
    Na gur thréig mó mhile stór mé fá ól an chupáin dighe.
    Is truagh gan mise i Sasain, agus mé i mó cheannaidhe snáth,
    Mó chailín óige in aice liom, níor bfada liom
