  1. Is Fada Mo Chosa gan Bróga

    I
    Is fada mo chosa gan bróga, Is fuide mo pocai gan píghinn; Is fada mé 'g ól le mná óga, 'sníor ól mé aon dheor le mo mhían.
    II
    Is cosamhail gur marbh bhí m'áthair,
    Nuair a lig sé mé go h-arm a riogh;
    Sí'n uaigh mo chruaidh-leabaidh feasta, Sa chéad searc nach truagh leat 'mo luig;
    III
    Tá mise seacht mblíadna dubh dorm,
    I bhfíabhras na leabtha mo luigh';
    Dá dtiofa a chéad-searc mo fhíafruigh,
    Is cinnte go n-éireochainn mo shuidhe.
    IV
    Chuaidh mé 'mach ar maidín Dia Ceadaoin,
    Stíall mhaith gur lig mé le gaoith;
    Nuair chaith mise damh mo chuid éadaigh,
    Steall mé'n chor-mhéar on alt síos.
