    Dá bhfuigheann'sé mo shean duine báidhte i bpóll mona
    Chosa a bhriseadh is a lamh a bheith leónta.
    Thiubhrainn abhaile é agus dheanfainn a thóramh
    Is shiubhlfainn amach leis na buachaillí óga.

    Chuaidh mise go Corcaigh ag iarraidh gléas tóramh.
    Píopa, tobac, agus cláracha conra.
    A teacht dhom abhaile go tuirseach go brónach
    Cá bhfuighinn-se mo shean duine acht ag rósta bronnóige.

    Chuir mise mo shean duine amach go Tír-Eoghain
    Áit a mbeadh neart le n-ithe is le n-ól aige
    D'at a chuid phluca as thuit a chuid fiacla.
    Is tháinig se abhaile na bromhachán bliadhna.
    Óra shean-duine, shean-duine dóighte,
    Luighe ar do leabaidh is nár bheireadh mé beo ort.
    Óra shean-duine, shean-duine dóighte
    Dá mbéinsé ag a dhoras ní bhearfainn sé beo ort.
