    Téigheann an bainne sa Geimhreadh go h-adharcha na mbó
    Ní dhéanfadh an saoghal capall rás d'asal
    Is fearr scoil na maigistír ach i dteannta a céíle is fearr iad
    An té ná bfuil aige ach a sláinte is mairgh a chiall a cos
    Tuigheann fear léígheann leath-fhochail
    Ná mol an croiceann go bhfeicir cad tá laistigh de
    Leanan go dlúth do chúl ár sínsear
    An rud a faightear go bog caithfear go bog é
    Nuair a crúdhann don cailligh caitheann sí rith
    Mar ná bhfuil ach pochán gabhar bhí í lár an aonaigh leis
    Is fearr an t-imreas ná an t-uaigneas
    Níl aon tínteáin mar do thíntáin féín
    Is glas iad na cnuic i bhfad uainn
    Tóg uaim é is gan uaim ach é
    Tig a mbeul bóthair ní taisdeal í ach cómhgar
    Is fearr fochail sa cúirt ná púnt sa sparán
    Breithnigh an abha sar a dtéigheadh na tuille
    Gnó féin ní gnó gach aoinne é
    Cabhruig led thír féín ar dtúis
    Sceál ag innsint do capall agus an capall na codhladh
    Ní ceart do cuir le céile
