    Do thabharfhainn nídh fós dom stór nar gheallas di
    Beidh rósta a's smearadh 'gainn ar uachtar cláir;
    Beidh ciotal nó dhó sa ló ar scalladh 'gainn,
    Agus feóil mhion agam le tabhairt dom' bháb.
    Gach aon oidhche san mbliadhain ag triall chun halla 'gainn
    Is mar bhárr ar gach greann beidh rogha an phuins eadtrainn;
    Le tabhairt dom mhaoineach nidh nar gheallas di
    Is a stóir ná deirir go bhfaighead síothcháin.
    Thabharfhainn-se cíos 'gus é a dhíol ar maidin
    Do'n té a ghlacfadh mo ghnó ar láimh;
    Do bhrúghfadh an tsúil ag mo strúille sean-duine
    Is do thiocfhadh go tapaidh i gcóir é a lámhach.
    É do thabhairt dá bhádhadh amach i lár na farraige,
    Nó é do thabhairt 'on díg is an claidhe a leagadh air.
    Níor bhfeárr liom do shlighe ná an phíp a chnagadh aige
    Nó go bhfághfaí marbh thú uair roimh lá.
