    D’aon deór choidhchinn
    Thóghfadh sí gach ceó dhíom gach brón de ló is d’oidhche
    Is nach deas as tógháil í a stóirín geal mo chroidhe
    IV
    Ní bhéarfainnse mo stóirín ar airgead ná ar maoin
    Ar mhór chuid an t-saoghail go deo, deo ar an tsaoghail
    Acht pósfhaidh mé san bhfóghmhar is go deo ní chaillfidh í
    Acht sé dubhairt mo dhaide liom-sa dul ar lorg mhnaoi
    V
    Tá féar fada ag fás san ghleann a bhfuil mo mhnaoi
    Tá ubhlaí blasta ag fás ann, plúr is cruithneacht buidhe
    Tá mil na mbeach faoi Cháisg ann is amach go féile Mhíchil
    Is dá mbéinn ann leatsa a stóirín geal mo chroidhe
    VI
    Bean is cúpla bó léithe is cuid do’n ór buidhe
    Acht bhfearr duit-se go mór-mór a bheith go macánta céille
    Ní bean gan eolas a bheith ag ceóltóireacht
    Is ag gabhail fhuinn
    VII
    Is iomdha cailín áluinn idir Gaillimh is Tráigh-lí
    A bhfuil racaí ina gceann is lasaí geal leo síos
    Ceapann siad gur breagtha iad ná an gheallach san
    Meadhon-oidhche
    Acht ní bhéarfainn-se mo ghrádh geal ar mór-chuid cailíní
    VIII
    Chaith mé an bliadhain anuraidh is mé faoi bhrón is briseadh croidhe.
