    Osgail an dorus a Neillí , tá an oidhche seo fada is í fuar
    Níl solus i réilthe ná i ngealaig is tá Peaidí á Leathadh ag an bhfuacht.
    (máithair a chéile á fhreagairt) II
    Tá Neillí so cortha ar an saoghal díot
    Ag rith ar fuaid aontaighe gan ghnó
    ‘S a dhuine car imithig do chéill díot
    Gur dheuns an t-éirleach thar meoin
    (eisean) III
    Tá duine dem’ chine ins gach aon bhall
    Na flit ins gach aon áit dá ngeobhad
    Is cuireadh nuair a thugaid go léir dom,
    Is náir’ dom gan ‘tréat’ a thabhairt dóibh.

    Thabhar fhainnse trí ‘bob’ uaim féin duit
    Is gan pinginn díobh éileamh go deo
    Seisreach chapaill ar thaobh chnuic
    Dá bhfágthá-sa id dhéidh tig an ól
    V
    Dá dtabharfá-sa cathair na trae dhom
    Is an baile ar a nglaoidh siad Cíll Loin
    Go n-éireochadh na Sacsain le chéile
    Ní fheudfainn-se tréigeann de’n ól
