    Tháinig Babe McDonough ann,
    Is chuir sí ortha a seál.
    Bhí glad orm go dtáinig sí
    acht bhí sí leath-uair mall.
    Chuaidheamar go dtí an t-Oifig.
    an áit a dteigheann na mná.
    Dheamhan cailín dá raibh ariamh ann
    Nár chraith liomsa an dá láimh.

    Séard dubhairt Mairtín Conolly
    Nach siubhladh sé le Brighid.
    Mar chaith sí féin trí seactmhaine
    i stor na raiginí.
    Níor slur ar bith é sin orra,
    dá mbeadh a muinntir cruinn.
    Ní mó na baint a cairigín
    Mar is leis a chaith se a shaoghal.

    Faríor géar nár cailleadh mé,
    an lá baisteadh mé go hóg
    Mar fagadh in mo chadhain aonraic mé
    go féitheadh don bhéil bheo.
    Níl dearbrathair agam, is níl dearbshiur
    agam is níl mo mháithrín beo.
    Is tá mo athairín boct lag
    lubadh is a Dia cé h-iongantas dhó.
