    “Bhí mé lá gan amhras gabhail sraid a bhothair ruaidh...”

    Bí mé lá gan amhras gabhail sraid a bhothair ruaidh
    Maidin chiuin sa tsamhradh bhí an drucht ina luighe
    Annsins a bualadh an Planda liom
    Ba deise gus a b'ailne groidhe
    Sé mo bhrón mo creach is mo amhgar
    Sí an bhean dubh a fraidh mo croidhe.
    Tá an sonas agus an séan
    gach taobh da mbíonn mo ghradh
    Is binn a' rud ceileabar einín
    gach taobh gus maidin bhreagh
    Tá an lon dubh agus an ceirseach agus ní baoghal duinne bás
    Scaoilim feasta 'craobh leat
    Is tu Pearla an Bhrollaigh Bhán.
    Dá mbead sí agam cailín geanamhach
    a mbeadh lasadh in a gruaidh
    Dá mbead ór aici gus airgead
    a scaipeadh air a dluthaidh
    b'fearr liom póg agus fáilte
