    A Bhacaigh bhuidhe na léige,
    Tógh-se bean duit féinig,
    A séidhtfidh leat do slíghe,
    Cuir dhá mhála ghéagh uirthi,
    Agus gach nídh eile is méin leat,
    Agus seasamh fada fé sin,
    I ndoras gach aon tighe,

    Is bacach bocht mé an aon chur,
    Shi ubhalóchainn cnuic is sléibte,
    Ó Chorcaigh go dtí Bhéura (?),

    Ná go dtógfainn ann mo chíor,
    Do bhfonn liom Rí na Grúge,
    Mo cíor is m’íoch a bheith ar líne,
    Is mo mhaidín crois ag léimnigh,
    Ag doras gach aon tighe,

    Roghad-sa anois go Sasana,
    Mar a bhfaighidh mé ór is airgead,
    Fíon is beoir is beatha,
    Á líonadh i gcartaibh airgid,
    Agus Mná an óil á h-amharch dúinn,
    Gur mithid feasta díol,
    Cuireas lámh im’ phóca,
