    Na glac go deó muc i sac
    Is minic cú mall sona
    Na díol dó chearc lá fluich

    Bean gan leanbh, bean gan leithsgéal,
    Fear gán píopa, fear gan sgíthse

    Is glas na cnuic i bhfad uainn
    An ar cos amháin a táinig Naomh Páidrig go h-Éireann
    Chan gan lá a marbhuis Manús bó
    Is trom cearc i bhfad
    Bíonn adarca fada ar na buaibh thár lár
    Beirt ag troid agus iad ar aon sgéal

    An áit a mbíonn tóit bíonn teinidh an áit a mbíonn teinidh bíonn teas

    Na ceannuigh mála úr leis an sean mhála a choreadh
    Scuabann scuab úr go glan
    Is fearr éan in dó láimh, na dhá éan ar an tom

    Na caith amach an t-uisge salach go mbéidh an t-uisge glan istoigh

    Partán ag iarriadh ar phartán eile siubhal ag gcearc
