- N'fheadar in Eirinn cad é mar shaoghal é,
Ní thigim aénne i gcóir ná i gceart,
Nárbh é an tinncéir fein nó an bacaigh fein é,
No an táilliúr aérach faghann sé a bhean,
I dtús mo shaoghal bhíos beagán aerach,
Ar an gchómharsan taobh liom ná faghann aon blas,
Agus mo mháthair féin ag rádh gach aon laé,
That it was with the Agent I should make the match.

Bhí Tadhg ó h-Eilighe ag baile taobh liom, fear leis féin i gcáil ar rath
That he'd me Mary agus díleann Spré léi,
Agus ní raibh her "akels" sa pharóiste ar fad,
Nuair a bhí an éileamh ar inghean an Agent,
Ag Seán ó hÉilighe ní raibh an seans.
Chuadhas féin cun an Agent á rádh to take me mar a cleamhas isteach.
Ach an gunna a glaoidh sé in a terrible rage too,
Mar rabhas do bhíos 'na racer I was shot.
