    “Gabhail sios go Ros Comain”

    I
    Gabhail síos go Ros Comaoin
    Is orm a bhí an tiomain
    Is mise ag iarraidh mo loistín
    Bhí na doirse da mboltail
    Gus na madaidh dá bhfuipéal
    Is na maithre ag teasthail an róid dúinn.
    II
    Chuaidh mé isteach go dtí an chailleach bhrón bhuidhe
    Leoga ma tháinig níor bhfarsaing a croidhe
    As go dtabharfadh sí a h-anam do'n fhear a bhí shíos
    Dá mbínnse annsin ní bhfarsaing i dtír
    As na h-aereach a doimneach
    Seireach is soininteach
    Is mór a thaitin na mná liom.

    Níl na caille chrón bhuidhe acht eirneach go h-urais
    Ná snifeadh ar thurneach neamh srannar
    haicasainn druimin
    Dá bhfeicfeá sa tsiopa
    agus gúna de bhuiste na Frainnce
    Stocaí míne geala da dtarraingt na nglún
    Ribíní daithe síos fa na cúl
    Bróga san fhaisiun agus sál maide faoi
    As na h-aereach a doimneach
    Seireach is soininteach
    Is mór a thaithín na mná liom
