    Cora Cainnte as Tír Chonaill
    Cuir port feadalaighe leis.
    An deachaidh tú anonn an fhearsaid
    Ní fhearr ‘mo shuidhe annseo mé.
    Ní rabh an baile ariamh cosamhail le seo.
    Bhí sé fhein ag glacadh feirge de réir a chéile
    Tá cuma cheathaideach ar an lá.
    Fuair tú feirmh nuair a fuair tú í sin
    Dath dubh ar na rudaí sin níl maith ar bith ionnta
    Is beag a bhí le deánadh aige.
    Is maith an te a choimeadán a ghnóite fein.
    Caidé an mhaith a bhéith ag cainnt ar sin anois.
    Tá sé sin comh laidír le beathach capaill.
    Níor choinnigh me marc ar bith air.
    Tá a mheabhair caillte glan aige
    Ce is measa leat
    Tá me go measardha indiú
    Bíonn tú i gcomhnaidhe ag meigeadaigh
    Sean sceal agus meirg air
    Nac míofár an fear atá aici sin
    Bá mhinic leat a Sheáin
    Deamhan a miste liom c’aca tá no nach bhfuil
    Tá moll mór airgead aige
    I theann na muca míne fhein triosc
    Is mairg a phos ariamh
    Rabh mórán ag an damhsa aréir
    Droch rud atá ann é sin.
