  1. Seán Dubh

    Tá sean bhean thiar i Muinnis
    Is níl aice ach aon chaoirín amháin
    Cheannuigh sí bairille síl
    Le féacaint go ndéanfadh sí níos fearr
    Ní Raibh ann acht go raibh an pota ag tigheacht timcheall
    Nuair a tháinic Seán Dubh ar an t-sráid
    Dhóirt sé amach fud na tíre é
    Is a Dhia dhílis nach é a rinne an feáll.
    Muise a Sheáin Dhuibh nár shárthuigh tú an oídhche
    Is nár shárthuigh, ná an mhí a bhfuil tú ann
    Mar is measa tú go mór ná an Mac Tíre
    Nuair a ghoideadh sé na gamhna d'en áill
    Ní Chaithim aon ghail as an bpíopa
    i bportach ná in inse ná i ngleánn
    Nach mbéidh Seán Dubh ar uair a mheadhon oidhche
    Ag súil le gur poitín a bheadh ann.
