Ta bean in Eirinn a phronnfadh sead damh is mo shaith le n-ol
  Is ta bean in Eireann is ba bhinne leithe mo rafla ceoil
  No seinm thead; ata bean in Eirinn is niorbh fhearr lei beo
  Mise ag leimnigh no leagtha i gcre is mo tharr faoi fhod
  
  Ta bean in Eirinn a bheadh ag ead liom mur bhfaighfinn ach pog
  O/ bhean ar aonach, nach ait an sceala, is mo dhaimh fein leo;
  Ta bean ab fhearr liom; no cath is cead dhiobh nach bhfagham go deo
  Is ta cailin speiriuil ag fear gan Bhearla, dubhghranna croin.
  
  Ta bean a dearfadh da siulann leithe go bhfaighinn an t-or,
  Is ta bean 'na leine is is fearr a mein no na tainte bo
  Le bean a bhuairfeadh; Baile an Mhaoir is clar Thir Eoghain,
  Is ni fhaicim leigheas ar mo ghalar fein ach scaird a dh'ol.
