    1 A gcathain páidhte le fanaidh an t-saoghail
    Fill abhaile a pheacaich grándha
    Is measa tá tú na an té a bhreath Dia
    Nach bhfuil is agatsa gur bean a d'ith an t-ubhall sa ngáirdín
    Is tabhair cúl do lamh leis an t-sean bhean lighe.

    Ní sean-bhean mise acht cailín óige
    Fuair sgoil as foghluim i dtús mo shaoghal
    'S dá marach mo dadaí liom go dtí lá mo phosadh
    Binn rith i gcóstaí le clann an rí.
    Bhí sé an admiral ar fleet rí Sheóirse,
    Is iomdha contabhairt a chuaidh sé tríd
    Bliadhan sa taca seo sinneadh i gcónradh é
    Lighe mo cheann le cúmha na dhiaidh.
