Is maith an airidh ar na buaibh a seoladh,
A bheith dá dtreórughadh amuigh san lá;
‘S’ gur ar gheall ar bholacht a póstar a lán.

Fágfaidh mé an baile ar teacht na Bealtaine,
Ní le grád na le cion ar buaib.
I nAltaín bhán mar bhfuil mo grádh-sa ann
Is fada an lá no go ngoiridh an chuach
III
Dá mbéinn feín ‘s mo cháirde i n-éinfheacth
Dar liom feín gur deas ar ndóigh
Nár dheas an feírín ag cailín spéireamhail
Buachaill céilidhe nach mbéadh ag ól.
IV
Tuirse agus lionn dubh go mór fa mo intinn
Ó mhullach mo chinn go barr mo mhéir,
Ní feadaim cainnt mhaith a dheanadh fa mo annsacht
Acht ó d’imthigh an bhean dubh go dtéidh si slán.Is ciuin a’s is ceillidhe shiubhail sí an bóthar
Fa na bróga árda a’s gruaidh mar an rós
‘Sí is deise gáire ‘s is binne gáire
Faghainn gan ach dá phighinn is béidh si liom.
