    Cadé an bóthar gur shoillsig an ghrian air,
    Is nár shoillsig sé riamh ó shoin air.
    An bóthar dhein Maois trí an bhfarraige.
    Bíonn sé sa tsiopa is ní díoltar é,
    Bíonn sé sa mhóinfhéar is ní baintear é
    Bíonn sé san abhainn is ní báidhtear é.
    Do sgáth.
    Bean sa ghairdín agus dhá cheud cóta uirthi.
    Crann cabáiste.
    Ceistum ort ceist,ná réidhteochadh beirt.
    Cnocán cloch.
    Feuch é,feuch é, feuch é, feuch é
    Cheithre chúinne an tíghe.
    Feuch anáirde é mo chómh-aois
    Mo mheur.
    Soitheach gan tóin agus é lán d'feóil dhuine
    Mearacán Táilliúra
    Droichead ar loch gan mhaide gan chloch.
    Leac-oidhir ar abhainn.
    Cad is caime ná uisce na h-abhann
    Snáidhthín stoca.
