    Ó ró ghrádh mo chroidhe.
    Cuach an lon dubh buidhe ,
    Cuacha beag eile 'och lá go cionn míthe,
    Ó ró grádh mo chroidhe.
    Gabh trasna an bealach ndiaidh,
    Rachadh mise ar ndtrá(?),
    Cuacha lon dubh buidhe.
    Cé ar bith againn leanfaidh mé,
    Bíodh mé go deo aige.
    Agus ó ró grádh mo chroidhe.
    Lean mse an gruagaidhe,
    Is aige a bhí an óige.
    Is ó ró grádh mo chroidhe.
    Duine 'na coille a bhaint adhmaid,
    Cuacha lon dubh buidhe,
    Trí maide cuilinn agus dhá mhaide adhmaid,
    Cuacha lon dubh buidhe.
    Trí slata de'n calaiste is gráite ann,
    Cuacha lon dubh buidhe.
    Nuair a chuala mé fhéin na briathra breághtha,
    Cuacha lon dubh buidhe.
    Luigh mé siar agus fuair mé bás.....?
    'So ró grádh mo chroidhe,
    Tógadh suas ar ghiala árda,
    Cuacha lon dubh buidhe.
    Caithigidh síos ar leaca na sráide é
