    (How a child told on his step-mother when his father came home)

    Bhí mná annso Dia hAoine,
    A puill an fhalla, a puill an fhalla;
    Bhí mná annso Dia hAoine,
    A phuill an fhalla, a puill an fhalla.
    Dubhradh liom gan é ínnsint,
    Riamh do m'athair, riamh do m'athair:
    Is duitse táim dá ínnsint
    A phuill an fhalla 'phuill an fhalla
    Tháinig m'Aintín Síle ann
    A phuill an fhalla 'phuill an falla:
    Bhí gloinní fuisgí líionta ann
    A phuill an fhalla 'phuill an fhalla.
    Thug sí prataí is im dóibh,
    A phuill an fhalla, a phuill an fhalla,
    Thug sí prataí is im doibh,
    Is uibhe na lachan, uibe na lachan
