    (continued from previous page)
    Bhí mé lá fa mhílte tróigh ann
    Casadh domh dearthair an stocaigh óig
    Bhí sé (ag) gul 's ag cradhghul fa bhárr na n-ált ann
    's cruaidh an tsúil nach siltheadh deor.
    Shíltheadh tuataí nar fiacheadh 'gcruaightean
    go gcongbhochaidh suas sinn ar thalta 'n domhain
    An baile beag truaillidh ar ar buaileadh suas iad
    Nar chruinnigh an uair sin 's a gcur ar dóigh.
    Bí'n ghsith a seoladh mar bhí'n rí a dtreoradh
    Annsair an lánamhain ba doigheamhla sa tír.
    Go bhfuigh siad subhailec 'gus seinim na glóire
    Mar thug siad bórf dobhtha gus billeid shaor.
