    (continued from previous page)
    Is fada mé uaigneach ag tóruigheacht bean tighe,
    A tuairisg ní bhfuair mé ariamh in mo shaoghal,
    Go bhfaca mé an stáid bhean ar thaobh chnuic in-a suidheamh
    Is a folt in' naoi nduallaí da sguabadh le gaoith.
    I gCaisleán a' Bharraigh seadh chodail mé aréir,
    Bhí mo mian agam 's níorbh 'fhada liom é.
    Ag cur mo lámh thairm go bpógfainn a béal,
    Fuair mé an áit follamh 'gus an leaba fúm féin.
    Ní dhéanfaidh mé imirt, ní dhéanfaidh mé ól,
    Ní dhéanfaidh mé nídh ar bith acht gach nídh mar is cóir.
    Go sínfear sa gcill mé, go dtéighidh úr ós mo chionn
    Le mnaoi eile indiaidh mo stóirín ní leigfidh mé mo rún.
    Rachaidh mé 'un Choill Chraofa ag baint sméar le ceo,
    Ag baint ubhall de bharra géagáin is ag seoladh an dhá bhó
    Da gcastaoi liom mo chéad shearc dá béilín bhainfainn póg.
