    Brón a chroidh ar an t-seanduine
    Nar cheannuigh sé tuilleadh bólacht
    Bhí na sléibhte móra farsainge ann
    Agus airgead go leor.
    Da mar leisean dúithche Chonnachta
    Na páirt den bhaile mhór
    Thréigfhinn féin an seanduine

    Is truagh gan mise i Muineachan
    A’s mé mo shuidhe san fhéar
    Mo stóirín a bheith in aice liom
    A’s mé bheith i gcómhradh léi,
    Sgairtfhinn ar bhuideal leanna annsin
    Agus dhíolfainn féin an cháin
    A’s leanfainn thar an fhairrge
    Mo chailín barrail bán.
    Fuair mé an t-amhran seo ó bhéal Nellie Bheag - Bean Mhíc Chonaill, Leac Chonaill, Árdaratha.
