    Is a dhul thríd Ghaillidhe dhom is mé tuirseach saruighthe,
    An ceatramhadh lá tharéís an cogadh thígtheacht,
    Casadh an chailleac dhom i lár na sráide
    Is chuir sí caint orm céad faraor géar

    Cén sort fear meatha tú ná an bacach atá tú
    Ná mbuailfa páirtuigheacdh ar shean-bhean liath
    B'ionnthuigheas tharm is rinneas gáire
    Má tá do phursa láidhir bhí teannadh aníar

    Tá crúdh na h-Éaglais annseo in a dhiaidh
