    1. Nuair a bhí mé ar seachran sa t-saoghal
    ‘S mé ag imtheacht liom fríd an cheó
    Thárluigh Cródhamh ann mo líon
    ‘S bhí biadh ann de fhuigheall d’en t-sló.

    Bhí sgairt ag gach duine ar gach taobh
    Bhí againn san oidh ‘níos mó
    Dá maireadh ‘n obair seo choidhche
    Go ndíolfá gan phighinn do bhórd.

    Tá Paidí Ua Cuinneagain shíos
    Ar bhealach an mhínigh roinghainn
    “Siubhail is bhí teacht ‘un mo thoigh”
    Tá sé ‘n-am bhídh na chomhair”.

    Ach oiread le naoigh na Róimh
    ‘Sa lá thiocfas sgairt ar an t-saighal
    Go rabh siad fa dhian sa ghlóir.
