    2. A Shean Bhean Bhocht.
    (I)
    An rabh tú ar a mhargadh,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    An bhfaca tú, as an gcuala tú,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Chonnaic mé ar a’ mhargadh í,
    ‘S í ag cunntas a cuid airgid,
    Buachall beag an chúige ag siubhal le na cois.
    II
    Is truaigh gan tú san mhuileann agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san mhuileann agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san mhuileann agam,
    A’s do cúl le sac na mine,
    A’s nach deas an ‘Dusty Miller’ a dheánfadh
    Shean bhean bhocht.
    III
    Is truaigh gan tú san bhád agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san bhád agam,
    A shean bhean bhocht.
    Is truaigh gan tú san bád agam,
    A’s do dhá cos suas ináirde’
    Is nach deas na maidí rámha,
    A dheánfadh sean bhean bhocht.
