    BEAN AN TOIGH LEANNA

    Chuaidh me 'steach i dteach aréir
    'S diarr me caírt ar bhean a' leanna
    Sé dubairt sí liom diabhail 'na deór
    Bual an bothar go na bhaile

    (Curfa)
    Níl sé 'na lá nó na lá
    Níl sé 'na oidhche no na mháidín
    Níl se 'na la 's ní bhéidh go foill
    'S níl acht uair ó déirigh 'n gealach

    (II)
    Chuir mé féin mó lámh 'n mo pocha
    'S diarr me briseadh coroín uirthí
    Se dubhairt sí liom buail an bórd
    'S gheobaidh tú ó'n cárt go dtí an galún

    (Curfa)

    (III)
    Éirighe do shuidhe a fhear a toighe
    Chuir ort do bríste 'gus do h-ata
    Agus bí gabhail a cheoil do'n fhear chóir
    Ata dul ag ól annseo go maidín.

    (Curfa)

    (IV)
    Ná éirighe do shuide a fhear a toighe
    Na cuir ort do bhríste no do hata
    Na diabhal aon deor a theigheas an do sgoíg
    'S níl mise dul a' ól annseo go maidin
