    “Seán Breathnach an Ruis Ruadh.”
    Ag gabháil dhom ar mo threabhléireacht
    Thart siar trí Chonamara siar
    Seadh casadh an ainnir dhom
    Ba dheise sa bPár Méin
    Do labhair sí liom go h-aigéanta
    “Ó is fada fear mait ’a teastáil uaim
    Nó a dtiocfaidh tú abhaile liom
    Go gcaithidh tú do shaoghal.”
    Nuair a fuair mé féin an tairisgint
    Níor liom féin í bhfhaillighe é
    Chuaidh mé go teach a h-athar
    Ag obair nídh nár chleachtadh liom d’oidhche is de ló
    Nuair a d’éirigheadh sí ar maidin
    Ní ar a glúin a rachadh sí
    Bhí buille chearc is mhada aice
    Is í feargach go leor.
    Nuair a chuala mé an caibidíl
    A bhí ag mná is páistí an bhaile orm
    D’imtigh mé agus
    Níor fhill mé níos mó
