    (Séan Ó Flanagain do Chúm)
    I
    Ar bóthar Luimnighe do bhuail an bás liom
    Na Ghaduidé ghrána ‘s a dhrom le claidhe
    Do dhruid sé i’m choinnibh is do chraith sé lámh liom
    A’rádh “A shéain bhoicht, cé an nós ataoi”
    Tá mé tinn, dubhach, tuirseach, cnáidthe
    O’s na cúig mhála ‘tá ar agaidh mo chroidhe
    Leag ar an dtalamh iad agus gluais liom láithreach
    Go gleann aoibhinn aluínn agus déin aithrighe
    II
    D’fheácas suas ar an ngaduidhe ghrána
    ‘S d’iarrais spás air go ceann trí mhí
    Go téidhinn abhaile go dtí an sagart mánla
    An sagart do b’fearr a bhí i néide Chríost
    Annsúd do gheobhair mé i dtig an tabhairne
    I measc na sar-fear ag ól na dighe
    Is deirim go deimin duit dá bhfaighinn mo slaínte
    Gurbh fhada ón áit seo do gheobhair mé airís
