    An Spealadóir
    Spealadóir maith tapaidh mise
    Is mé leagfadh an fear
    Mo dhá dhoirnín gheala
    Agus no lann mhaith ghear
    2.
    Spealadóir is ainm domh[?]
    Faghaim giní as an acara
    Ní bhféarr liom-sa an tasc orm
    Ná páighe mhaith lae.
    3.
    A' gcluin sibh mise a chailíní
    Nach truagh libh an sceal
    Tá mise gabhail go h-Albain
    Agus níl siúl liom go h-éag
    4.
    Gabhaigidh ar bhur nglúna
    Ins an oidhche gabhail a luighe dibh
    Agus guidhigidh mé bheith abhaile
    I n-aimsir shábhail an fhéir
    5
    Shiubhail mise as Corcaigh san mheadhon-oídhche aréir
    Mo dhaedí agus mo mhamaí agus mo cháirde uilig go léir
    Tá ór buidhe go fras agam is níl dúil ar bith sa scraist agam
    Ach grádh mo croidhe an spealadóir sé leagfadh an fear.
