    Ar an ceatramad lá de mí Márta
    Seadh thogamar ár seólta
    Ag breathnú ar na gcósta
    'S ag féacháil tuin a Mhionáin thair
    Bhí longeas bheagh is mhór ann
    Bhí waterguards Rí Seórse ann
    'S an bairdín salach leobhta
    'S an tóir uilig n'ár ndiaid

    Siar le rinn i Mhaolan
    Aniar go cro na caoile
    Acaill beag taobh thíos duinn
    Tráigh beag os ar gcionn
    Bhí trí cúrsa sa mhain sail
    Ag balance reef na dhiaidh sin
    'S a storm jib dhó feacaint
    An éadan gac tonn

    Gur dheórtamar le fánaigh
    Fridh fhairrge ghá cátadh
    Go dthainigimar ina ráithe
    Mar is ann a bhí ar dtriall
    Mise an caiptín Máilleach
    Fear tréan de chineál grainne
    Cuirfeadh loct amach go sásta
    Sna waterguards in suain
