    Go bfoiridh Dia is Muire orm is mé i bfad o mo gaoltaibh
    Lé pian in mo dhruim is ní bheidh me i bfád beó
    gan fear foscailte an dorais le tigheacht in mo gaobhair
    Acht ma tigeann an stímín ní bheidhead ag pléidhe leó.
    Do mbeadh fios af Sorcha go bhfuil mise sínte,
    Tosochadh sí ag caoineadh is ag sileadh na ndéor.
    Chruinneochadh sí fuireann chomh maith is tá sa tír seo
    'S bearfaidh sí Stiopán i dtír mbád Eogain.

    A Sorcha na gcarad caith tharad an caoineadh,
    Ma tá pían in mo dhruim geobhfad biseach go foill
    Amach leat go béal an Muirthid is fán ann go la an aonaigh
    I drigh an t-Sagairt Úi Raghllaigh a dearfas mé gabhail
    Éirig ar maidin is ná haithris do Bhrigid e
    Ná do Toirdealbhach Ó Raghallaigh sé is measa leat fhos
    Béidh siámda 'gus aiteas agus puinsann da líonadh
    Is Stiophán go croidheamhail ag gabhail fuinn ar ceann bord.

    A Sorcha na gcarad nuair a bheasmuid seal pósta
    Béid agat mac óg chomh deas is bheas sa dtír
