    Maidin bhog aoibhinn ¶ Ar sráid caoladh ísle

    Maidir bhog aoibhinn
    ar shráid caolad ísle
    lem' scata breágh caorach is cúpla bhó
    Chun bheist agus bríste ceannach do Nór Chríona
    Tobac don mnaoí aosta agus bootaisí nua
    Do dhíolas na dróidim ar fad lena chéile
    Na seofuidí maola ar naoi bpúint agus cróin
    Do bhí an brídeach sa gárlach
    Ar soadair liom sháileamh

    go neimir ag ól
    D'arduig sí lé mé
    Go seómairín éalmhar
    I gcúinne an aonach is glaoig sí ar bhfeóir
    Bhí spórt agus aoibhneas is fuisge ag
    gabháil timpeall
