- Mo sheanduine. (3)(a)
Cuadhasa 'on Daingean ag iarraidh tórraimh,
Pípeanna a's tobac is cláracha cómhrann,
Ar theacht abhaile dom tuirseach tráthnóna
Seadh bhí mo shean-dhuine ag caitheamh a thóna.
Oró a sheanduine bascadh is dóghadh ort,
Oró a sheanduine leatsa ní gheóbhad-sa;
Oró a sheanduine leatsa ní gheóbhad-sa
Luigh ar do leabaidh is gur marbh a eireóchaidh tú.
(b)
Dá bhfaighinnse mo sean-duine báidhte i bpoll móna,
Tabharfhainn abhaile é is do dheanfhainn é a thórramh,
Bhainfhinn an croiceann do is dheanfhadh sé bróga
Is chaithfhinn amach go dtí na buachaillí óga é.
(c)
Dá mbeadh agam corcán bainne bainne caorach,
Suaidhte beirbhigthe i bhfochair a chéile;
Cloch gorm 'na bharra ag fiuchaidh gan traochadh
Thabharfhainn dom' sheanduine é d'fonn a bheith réidh leis.
Oró a sheanduine leatsa ní gheobhad-sa,
Oró a sheanduine nár bheiridh an fóghmhar ort,
Oró a sheanduine leatsa ní gheobhad-sa,
Luigh ar do leabaidh is gur marbh a eireóchaidh tú.
