    1.
    Ag éirigh damh fhéin amach ar maidin an lae ghil
    Fán choillidh chraobhuigh 'smé seoladh bó.
    Maise thárluigh damh an spéir bhean agus í ina léinidh
    Bhí a fallrún leithe gus i lán d'én chnó.
    Maise mhráid mé fhéin léi go ciúin agus go céillidhe
    Agus d'iaffruigh mé fhéin dí an nglacfadh sí póg
    Maise d'fhoscail sí béilín agus labhair s i mBeurla
    'Sé dubhairt sí; Please sir will you let me go.

    Tá tuirse agus brón orm go mór fá' m'intinn
    Ó chúl mo chinn ó go dtí mó lár
    Nó nach dtig liom-sa caint mhaith a dhéanamh lé mansacht
    Ó d'imthigh dintrigh nó go dtig tú slán.
    3.
    Is maith an aithrigh nó bá bheith a sanntughadh
    Nó a bheith dá seoladh amuigh an sá lá
    Agus im agus bainne iad i dteach an t-Samhraidh
    Sgur bheith geallair bólácht a phóstar mnáibh.
    4.
    Más ag imtheacht atá tú amach fá Bhealtaine
    A ghradh nach dtearn ariamh corruigh nó gruaim
    Fr íd sléibhte bána má theidheam go brathach leat
    Nach fada an lá é ná go nguirigh chuaich.
