- (D'fhoghluim Seán Ó Riain, Tobar Pádraig an t-amhrán seo ó'n a mháthair agus é óg, suas le 50 bliain ó shoin)
O Dhera shean-duine, drách agus brón ort
Óir-se sil frí mar go ndeachas ró-óg leat
Triúr a mhír glun-dubh 'athair 's a máthair 's an sagart cómh dian leatha
Churas-sa mo shean-duine siar i gcoim oidhche
Dá chéád acra do thalamh mar sliabh fhraoigh.
Bris sé an giota 's chiall sé an diallaid
'S thána sé abhaile níos sgolóigín diabhalta.
Nuair a chuadhas-sa go Luimneach direach gcóir thórramh
Píopa 's tobac agus clár chuig a' chomhra
Nuair a thánas-sa abhaile cearr chífeam romham é
Achar ag a' doras tochas a thónaCurfáO Dhera Shean-duine ní leatí gheobhad-sa

Cúpla stiogam is fearra bheith breóite.
(II)A' mbeidh-se ' mo ghum-se go dtéiogheann mar a chéile
Stúit-se beirice bhfochair a chéile
Tiac (?) bhuraic na bhfatha, (?) é fuctha gan tréite
Corruigh-se mo shean-duine deamhain a bheith réidh leis.
