  1. Seán a Bríste Leathair
    (A favourite song of olden times)
    Hy! for cups and saucers
    Hy! for shaney dishes
    Hy! for the lad I love
    That broke my heart with kisses
    Too rail lá rail á
    Too rail lú rail ladí
    Too rail lú rail á
    Seán sa bhríste leathair
    Hy for Saturday night
    Sunday is a long time coming
    Till I go down the street
    To see my darling coming. curfá.
    Bhí mé lá 'gen aonach
    Druid mé suas le Standing
    Cé chífinn ann ach lady
    Is í ceannach ubhal is crackers. Curfá.
    Druid mé leí go dána
    Thóg mé an veil d'á bonnett
    Cuir sí nimh a súl
    i bpóca 'n bríste leathair, Curfá
