  1. An Triúr Mac

    Share Share Post
    Bhí triúr mac agam a bhí oilte tóigthe
    Mar ghéarr ba lán dom, iad céad faraoir gear
    Dfágaibh siad an deirbhsúir bhocht go buadhartha cráidhte
    Gach aon lá Dómnaigh, agus ní ag íarraidh a gléis
    Ní raibh suim at bith agam ins an mac a b'óige
    Cé go mba lághach a leanbh é Peadar fhéin
    Ach an mac ba síne sé craid go do mé
    Is mí ní beo mé le cúmhaidh na ndiaidh
    Mo Pheadar Mhúirneach a bhí oilte múinte
    A chuaidh i gcontabairt le bheith nios fearr
    Bhí groidhe na gcomharsan aige an fhad is bhí se liomsa
    Is ba mhaith an conghantóir é amuigh
