  1. 1918 a dhein sé é.

    Do thug Sean O'Murthinle amhrán breágh,
    Do bhí Seán De Róiste ag rinnce,
    Agus Cáit Ní Samhna ag beiriú té,
    Do mhórán Éireann daoine,

    Sean O'Murthnille sang an Irish song-
    Johnny Roche was dancing
    And Cait Ní Samhna was boiling tay
    To keep the girls prancing.
    J. B. O'Driscoll danced all night
    His movements were most charming
    But the McCarthy Reagh's from Glounathuans
    Danced out the top of the morning.

    Do chasadh ann an seimh fear suairc,
    An t-Athair Ó Baróideach
    Ba bhinne an ceol do chuir siad ar seol
