“Chuadhas ar mo 'frolic' ar bhfallaing i dtosach mo shaoil.”
(continued from previous page)Chuadhas ar mo 'frolic' ar bhfallaing i dtosach mo shaoghal
Chuadhas go Cnoc Rafartí in áit a bainfear an foghmhar le faobhar
Saoileas go bhfuighinn cead codladh mar cleachtaí mo dhúthaigh féin
Bhí a scollóg ag seasamh ar maidean agus b'árd a bhí a glaodhach.2.
"Dia dhuit a 'traveller' do bheannaigh sé féin ar dtús
Cad as a reochaid? Reachas ó droichead bláth siúbhail
Dar sabhast a 'Roger' ó maidin a tháinghís an méid sin slighe
Mo cuid fágmhar le spealladh agus gan fear agam fós ina shuidhe.3.
Nuair a chualadh na gasra preabadar suas na shuidhe
Bhí stocaí dá strochadh acu is lascaidhe sean-bhróga críonn
Le h-iomáint cun roithe bfada liom déineamh aon mhoill
Agus chailleas mo hata agus tugas lá buaint im mhaoil.4.
Siar go dtí Magh Ealla do chuir m'athair mé ag iarraidh mná
Ar mo casadh abhaile casadh na fiadh fé'm ghrádh
