    I
    Bliadhain agus an taca seo
    Badh deas mo chulaith éadaigh
    Ba luthmhar éadtrom aigeanta
    A dheanfainn bean a bhréagnadh
    ‘Sanntuigh mise an ghiobog
    Mar go rabh bo na do mar spré [agat]?
    Is dfág tú ar an ainis mé
    Is mo chroiceann geal gan léine.

    Thug tú d’fiacha ‘muigh sa istigh
    Is níor stad tú de na bréaga,
    Níor fhág tú caoi na deis [ort]?
    Go nigfinn geal do léine.
    Ag rathaidh mar bheadh bacach [ann]?
    In doras acán aon teach
    Sa fiafruigh do na cailleacha
    Rabh aca an dúdóg réidhtigh.

    Ariam d’ rinn mé an posadh
    Na mo bróga daidte agam
    Ag dul ‘un Aifrinn damh Dia [Domhnigh]?
    ‘S da gcastai sgaifte cailin damh
    Ag siubhal ar an bhóthar
