    Amhrán-an Ghiobóg
    Bliadhain agus an taca seo,
    Badh deas mo culaith éadaigh.
    Badh luthmhar eadrom aigeantach,
    A dheanfainn bean a bhréagadh,
    Acht phós mise an ghiobóg,
    Mar bhí cupla bó de spré aicí.
    A's dfág sí ar an annás mé,
    A's mo chroiceann geal gan léine.
    (An bhean)
    Ma bhí culaith dheas ort-sa,
    Admhuighim náir leat féin í.
    Ní raibh sí ar do chroiceann,
    Go raibh fear an t-siopa 'g éileamh.
    Dhíol tú mo chuid bó-sa,
    Le cur in do chuid fiacha.
    'S dá mbéadh oiread eile agam,
    Ní dhéanfadh sé do réidhteacht.
    (Anfear)
    Ní fhacas léine gheal orm,
    Ariamh le linn mo phósta
    Ná mo bhróga dubh daithte
    'Dul an Aifrinn damh Dia Domhnaighe
    Nuair a tchím-se scaifte cailíní
    Na seasamh ar an bhóthar
    Go bhfóiridh Rí na bhfeart orm
    'Sé mian mo chroidhe 'bheith leobhtha.
