Is a Chiti na gcumann na sean me
Siuil feasta 'gus ealaigh liom
I ngleanntain coilleadh no sliabh' amuigh
No sealad faoi bhlath na gcrann
Do phosfainn i gan fhios don tsaol thu
'S don tsagart da mh'fheidir liom
'S muna bhfaighfear sinn cangailt' in Eirinn
a racham araon anonn.
Is do thangas an baile seo 'reir
Is bhi se 'gam deanach go leor'
Sme ar intin nan margadh a dhe anamh
'S nach scarfainn lei fein go deo
Nior thainig a Daidi chun reitigh
Car mhiste domh e na dhoibh?
Bheirim slan is beannacht as mo ghaolta
'S ni chas faidh me fhein go deo.
Nior cuireadh romham cuireadh na failte
a thangas an tsraid seo thios
On uair a d'airigh mo ghra geal
Is go dtugas mo lamh do mhnaoi
Is doigh leo go bhfuil mise posta
Is dar ndoigh, mas doigh, ni fior
Dar anleabhar seo 'ta thios i mo phoca
'S ag mealladh ban og a bhios.
