    Ó tá boicht sep Éireann i mbuairt is in anacair
    Is ag pléidhe leis an aindeis féin gach lá
    Leanbhaí bochta ag béiceadh is ag screucad gach maidin ann
    Trí ocras fada is gan dada le fhágailt.

    Sias na prátaí dubha a dhein ar gcomhairsain do scaipeadh uainn
    Do cur ins an poor-house iad is anonn thar fairrge
    Is i Reilg an tSléibhe tá na céadta 'cú troscartha
    Agus uaisle na bhFlaitheas go ngabhaidh a bpáirt.

    Sa Righ ne Truaighe is a Uain Ghil Bheannuighthe

    Go mbeimís i d' labhairt gac am do lá.
