    Feicim an caos - óg go cruinn
    Nuair a chaoinighim ar mo sean duine
    D'fág mé sa mbaile an Chlinn chloinn
    Ach iarraimse ar dhia 's ar Mhuire
    Cloch mhór go dtuitidh ar a dhruim
    Gan a bheith a' súil le cabhair an t sean dhuine
    Ag a laighead atá le roinnt
    Some advised me to drown him
    and others advised to grind him in a mill
    I took mine own advice of all
    and I carried him far away
    Where I choked him with a thraneen
    between two cocks of hay.
