    Agus bhí cailín óg ann le cur i gnaoi
    Síneid mé amach uirri an thaobh an bhóthair
    Agus thug móide go bposfainn í.

    Lean a máithirin go dtigeanns a Róisín
    Gan fiú ná bróg uirri ach a gruag leí síos
    Bhí ór is airgead a thónn a phócha
    Agus go tech an óíl a tharraing sí
    Ma thigeann tú abhaile liom ar ais go "Foghill"
    Ach ceannochaidh me "omra" ar bhegáin chiall

    Níl sé nóiméad ó d'fhág mé Foghill
    Is ta doiligheas mór orm a' dhul as riamh (?)
    Seo mo láimh dhuit nach bhfuilim pósta
    Is gur buachaill óg mé thug gean do mhnaoi.

    Cuirfidh mé "Caul Cup" ort-sa d'faisiún cóirthe
    Agus béidh do leanbh ag siubhal an tighe
    Béidh dalladh grinn ann, béidh "Brandie" is beór ann
    Is do leanbh ro-dheas ag siubhal an tighe.
