Lyrics:

Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi sm raibh
Go dtm gur fhas na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is ciad is corradh laethe
Go dtainig an aois go trian uirthi
Bhi sm gcrs bheag ins an cheo
Go dtainig feil'Eoin is gur ialaigh sm
Thart an rsd san bealach msr
Gur lean a tsir go gear uirthi

Ni raibh nduine ar a tsir ach Donnchz sg
Is d'ith sm an lsn san t-anlann air
Ni raibh aige ina dhorn ach ceap tzine msr
Agus leag si anuas sn arradh m
Nuair a chuala an gabhar ban go raibh sm ar lar
Thug sm liim chun tarrthala
Thug sm ras 's ni raibh sm sasta
Is leag sm spmon an taillizra

Chomh cruinn le rsn gur thsg sm feoil
Gan pis gan msran diibhirce
Ach d'ith sm cib agus barr an fhraoich
Slanlzs min is craobhsgai
Draoin is dreas is cuilcann glas
Gach nm ar dhath na h-ainleoga
Cutharan sliibhe, duillizr fiile
Caora sriana agus blainsiogai

Chuaigh sm dhmol cios le Caiftmn Spits
Is chraethnaigh a croi go dtriigfm m
Chaith sm an omche ar bheagan bidh
Mar ndzil is go geasfam fiar uirthi
d'Fan sm 'a siche i dtsin Ros Coill
Is chaith sm i go pliiszra
Go dtainig an slua ar maidin go luath
Is thug siad amach as Iirinn m

Sa tsean ghleann thiar a bhi sm raibh
Go dtm gur fhas na hadharc' uirthi
Bliain is ciad is corradh laethe
Go dtainig an aois go trian uirthi
Bhi sm gcrs bheag ins an cheo
Go dtainig feil'Eoin is gur ialaigh sm
Thart an rsd san bealach msr
Gur lean a tsir go gear uirthi
