    Más cailín beag den tsort sin tú
    Is go bhfuil dúil agat san ól
    Is gearr a mhairfheadh airghead dhuit
    Is sgaipfeadh lúach na mbróg
    Ach iarraimse ar Dhia is ar Mhuire
    Mara mairfinn beó ach mí
    Go bfeicfhinn ag iarraidh na deirce tú
    Is na malaí ar do dhruim
    v
    Maise bfearr liom ag iarraidh na deirce
    Is na málaí ar mo dhruim
    Ná do léithidhe do sean duine
    A beith sa mbaile tinn
    Mara ndéanfá ach puth casachtacha
    Go silfinn nach mairfeadh beó
    Ach imthigh leat is ná badaráil mé
    Is tú giolla an mhíadh mhóir
    vi
    Nuair a theighim féin chun Aifrinn
    Is a fheicim an t-aos óg cruinn
    Is smaoinighim ar mo shean-duine
    Atá sa mbaile tinn.
    Ach iarraimse ar Dhia is ar Mhuire
    An chloch mór go mbrisfhidh a dhruim
    Is a dteighfidh anon ná anall
    Na mhullach go dtiocfaidh cruinn
