  1. O, bhí mé lá go brónach,
    Le mo sheoltáinín ag tóin a tíghe,
    Go síorraidhe ag silt na ndeoraidhe,
    A's ag cómhrádh le na crilíníbh,
    Ní suim a bhí 'na glór agam.
    'Sé is docha gur ag maghadh bhínn,
    Acht ta mé óg go leor,
    A's ní phósfaidh mé acht grádh mo chroidhe.

    Beannacht Rí na hAoine ar an té,
    A dhibir mo grád i bhfad uaim.
    Agus gan dul agam teacht gan gaobhair,
    Lá saoire ná go moch Dia Luain
    Bhíodh sé ag cuir sa díleann
    agus an oidhche ag cur sneachta faoi'n duit
    imteacht
