    I.
    Chuir mé mo sheanduine isteach ins chómhra
    Ag ól bainne reamhair 's ag ithe arainn eórna,
    Da gcuirfeadh sé ' cheann amach
    Sgiobfainn an tsrón de
    's bhéinn féin annsin
    leis na buachaillí óga.
    'S óra sheanduine, sheanduine
    sheanduine dhóighte
    Brón ort a sheanduine
    'S mairig a phós thú.

    Da mbéadh siad agam
    Tobaca agus píopa
    Muga maith leanna
    agus builbhin pighne
    Naoi n-uibhe agus fiche
    le bruith ins an ghríosaigh
    Rachainn sé i mbannaidh
    ar an tseanduine an oidhche sin
    'S ora seandhuine, sheandhuine te.

    Chuir mé mo sheanduine
    Suas in áirde
    Thuit é anuas
    i dtubann na cathbhruith
