    I am a young fellow that ran out of land and means

    The day of our trial her mother she swore severe
    Go ndh'ólfainn mo thuilleamh ag imeacht le fán an t-saoghal.
    That her daughter was simple and I being a scheming rake.
    Is gur bhualas an bob uirthe i bhfolas de'n t-saogal go léir.

    Fiarruigheadh do'n anair a raibh aon nídh aici féin le rádh
    She said she was in love with the most loving and genteel young swain
    Is ná pósfhad sí a mhalairt go gcuirfí í síos fé'n gcré.
