  1. Lá dá rabhas ar lic mo cheisd ort cia bhí ag ól.
    le na cheann, le na dhoirne, le na bhois.
    Le bhronnaibh a dhá chos do bhí sé ag ól.
    Cé ba mhinic a thaithighe i dteach an óil.
    Níor chaill pinghinn le beoir le bliain.
    Ba mhinic an donas i mbun a stóir.
    Ní fhacas bonn in a phócha riamh.
    Ba comhsholus oidhche dhó agus lá.
    A' troid do bhíodh de ghnáth fá'n mbiadh.
    A 'goid sa bhroid, sa déanamh áir.
    Is iomdha bás do thug sé raimh.
    Is i dtú a shaoghail bhí sé diomasach mearaigeanta,
    Is linn a aois bhí sé fiachrach mearsealgaireach.
    Bhí sé go síoruidhe cois gríosaighe agus fíorchruit air.
