  2. Gailcí 'n tighe mhóir ní phosainn-se go deo, deo
    Bhéínn-se sior sgiúradh scianaibh agus a leagaint ar bhord.
    Ach pófaidh mise an buachaillín óg deas, Isé a siubhfadh liom an ród,
    Saor ócadh an t-airgead agus d'fhanfadh ag na mhnaoi.

    Is tú mo shearc agus mo rún
    Is tú mór cheart Bhúr lánn-trean
    Agus plannta an Aillt Mhóir

    A folaing leithe, agus í lán de'n cnó.

    Agus d'fhiafruigh díthe an ghlacfadh sí pog.
