    Mo sgeómairín leagaithe thiar ar mo phan agam
    "Down Priming" a chaitheamh leó siar go dtí an bun.
    Do bhí cuicéad ar chnaipe agam, slinn do bhí glas agam,
    "Steel" agus "canaster", "screen" agus "flint"'
    Do bhí trí feirc im hata agam, feirc agus mainge air,
    Agus lámh ar mo "mhagnet" thiar ar mo "hip".
