    Ó se a Mhary dheis Eibhlis
    Baothrú gach aon bhuchaill aerach
    A bhfuil san áit so
    Namhad gach chailín
    A théid in sa cruinniú
    Mo rún-sise meas is fáilte
    Ní'l iarla sa chruinne
    Graidhe párla gach uile
    Ná rún leis a fagháil mar chéile
    Lucht cláirseach is fidil
    In grádh leis an innir
    Cúl-áluinn na teispean (gcoiscéim) spéireamhail.
    In English, the following is remembered
    "O Mary Mc Mhaon, she's the care and the bother
    And the heart's delight of all young men
