    An bhfeiceann tú Seán ó bhárr an chnuic
    I lich an teinteáin ag rinnce "jig"
    Mar do dhéanfadh sé gleó le claganna nuadha
    Do thug duine an treo seo ó Cheann Tuirc
    Is ó bhean an tighe cad é an bhuairt sin ort
    II
    Do bhíodar na bróga gleoite deas, cluthmhar compórdac ar neoin le teas
    Ní fearra dhuit clúmh bheith sáidthe féd' bhuan
    Ná feidhre bréagh cúma dhíobh súid a bheith ort
    Is ó bhean an tighe cad é an bhuairt sin ort

    Ní cuileann ná draighean atá fé na mbun
    Ach béama breágh "dale" go bhfuil úr is tirm
    Teanga bhreagh shleamhain ó chroicheann ó ghamhain
    Ná gearradh ró-cham is mo lom ná liom

    Do chuirfeadh cun fán crampaí is fuachtáin agus morán eile ná h-airmhighim duit
    Is ó bhean an tighe cad é an bhuairt sin ort
    V
    Do bhí feidhre acha siúd aige Fionn fadó
    Is mó na sliogáin do suibhal sé leó
