“Nuair a raghadhsa tigh a tabhairne”
(I)Nuair a raghadsa tigh a tabhairneOlfaidh mé mo dhóthainLeannann mó bhean mé agus deineann sí seo dhíomAn dá riaghail a chuirfead í agus ní leanfad níosa
mhó íAgus beidh bean eile agam gac baile beag do geobaidh mé
(II)Díolfad-sa mo háta mo chosóg is mo léineIs beid mé an Showman ar costaí na h-ÉireannNíl aon tigh tabhairne na caraiste comhail le h-ÉirinnA's olfaidh mé ............................
(III)Má gheobadh-sa bás amáireach fágaim 'em h-udhacht méCur idtig a' tabhairne go sásta fé bfurmaMar chloisim ceól am chaint agus na cuagarnaí á bhualadBa bhinne liom an glór san na Ceól binn na cuaiche
English Version
(I)When I go to a public house I drink both night an day thereMy wife she follows me and let me to vexationTo the dickens now I pitch her (?) and no longer will I please herI'll have a purty girl in every town I face to
(II)I'll sell my old hat my coat and my waistcoatAnd I'll travel round the world my wages to earnThere's not a public house all round the nationbut I'll drink drink a health o' peace to the company round the table.(continues on next page)- Collector
