    Mo chró beag ag bun Chnoc a' Toighe
    Is iomdha áit álúinn in Eirinn, ag filí is lucht foghluim faoi cháil.
    Acht measaim gur gleanntáin Thír-chonaill,
    an áit úd is deise le faghail.
    Ní thabharfhainn ar choróin Rí Éamoinn, a phéarlaí 's a stór mianach buidhe,
    Mó chomhnuidhe beag féin idTír-chonaill,
    is mo chró beag ag bun Chnoc a' Toighe.

    Tá Caislean Mhac Suibhne taobh thiar damh,
    ar bhruach ghlas Chuan Caorach na dtonn,

    Ar dhoineann dubh gheimhridh mar ghárda, ar mo chró beag ag bun Chnoc a' Toighe.
