    Budh shéimhidheachta dá silfeadh súil
    Ach muna b’é draoideachta crosda m’athar féin
    Cailligheas leis mo gné agus mo snút
    Bhí sé de righthibh do aithris do
    Go sgriosfadh me feara fagail
    Acht da bhfhágfainnse aon neach mar mé fein
    De mhaorigh nó do ceann fuirt sléigh
    Bheidheadh agam mac a ngeillfeadh an domhain do
    ‘S ceallad m’athair a cheann ‘s a choróin
    San lá sin ar marbadh an Bhean Mhór
    Sar sraonad leobhtha an cabhlach ban
    Dar an lámh sin ort a chléirigh ní gó (lié)
    Sin agad teacht na mná Móire isteach.
