    Chan fhacthas mo iarann seisrighe liom
    Ag leas ughadh roimh an chaidrean
    Nó chan fhacthas mo cluth-foirste liom,
    Ar iomaire lá márta.
    Chár dhíol mé airgead teallaigh ariamh,
    Le constábla nó le báillí,
    Chan hiarradh go cúirt nó go seisiún mé
    Ná diab’al a bhfuighinn ar cáirde.
    Dá bhfuighinn mo druim le balla,
    Is deas a d’iarochainn cardaí (d’imreochainn)
    Bhuailfinn buille ar mhoistriughadh
    Dá mbéidhinn ‘mo shuidhe go hárd leis.
    Bhainfinn de an meascan
    Agus d’iucfainn é le preataí (d’iosainn)
    Ach i dtaca le na mbaint anois
    Ná hiarraighidh orm ‘a dheanamh
    Shiubhail mé liom ó thír go tír
    Ag cuiridheacha agus féastaí,
    Ag bainfheiseacha a’s scolta damhsa
    As mo hata crochadh ‘un aon taoibh’
