  1. Amhrán

    I am a poor plough-boy, my seed doth glow,

    I am a poor plough-boy, my seed doth glow,
    And that's well known to the neighbours
    Many a field I ploughed quite deep
    And that without much labour
    I'd plough and sow, I'd reap and mow
    And gather it into the barn
    I'd sweep the floor and dance with you
    On the Banks of Carraigh na Báine.
    Is treabhadóir mise, d'fasann mo síol
    Is tá sé sin ag sna comharsana
    Is mó páirc mhór do threab-sa riamh
