    (I)
    Se mo chuid gamhna iad, na gamhna geala,
    Itheann siad an féar, as ní ólann siad an bainne.
    Téidh siad anonn as anall ar abhanna
    'S ní fearr leóbhtha an tráigh aca na an lán Mára.

    (II)
    Is beag mo dúil-sa í gcupaí nó í geártaí
    Í bhfuinneógaí gloinne nó í leabthacha árda;
    Míle uair a b'fearr liomsa a mbothóg deas samhraidh
    Poll a bheith ar an scráith as mé ag seóladh na gamhna.

    (III)
    Bheirimse mo mhallacht do'n tsagart a phós mé,
    An dara mallacht do na buachaillí óga.
    As pósadh rud nar chleacht mise ariamh í dtús mo oíge
    Acht rinnce (?) 'san tsamhradh 's mé ag seóladh na gamhna.
