1
Nuair a theidhim thart siar go h-íóchtar Conndae na Midhe
Bíonn na boltaí[?] ar mo chaolaibh agus míle glas ó sin suas
'Dhia nach mé an truaighe is nach suaimhneas damh codladh na hoidhche
Sí bean an Fhir Ruaidh rinne gual damh fríd cheartlár mo chroidhe.

A bhruinneal gan smál goidén fáth le go bhfuil orm gruaim
Nárbhé buachaillín bán b'fhearr lear-sa seal leat da luadh
Ní cheilfead ar a' Phápa goidén fáth le go bhfuil orm gruaim
Fá ruadh-bhean sa díogaoghtí[?] sínte gus leacht ós a cheann.

Diúltaighim da mhaoin, do chios, do earraidh, is do ór
Na nach feasach dhuit nidh ar bith chlaoidhfeadh aigneadh na ruaidh
Dhia nach mé an truaighe is nach suaimhneas damh codhladh na h-oichche
Sí bean an Fhir Ruiadh rinne gual damh fríd cheartlár mo chroidhe- Informant
