    I mbéarla a chuala mé seo thíos:
    Brian O'Lynn had an old grey mare.
    Her back was long and her skin was bare.
    Her bones were cracking right under her skin.
    I'm off to the hunt says Brian O'Lynn.
    Brian O'Lynn had no breeches to wear
    He got an old goat-skin to make him a pair
    With the wooly side out and the fleshy side in
    It's pleasant and cowl (cold) says Brian O'Lynn"
