An Coisir / Chuirinn Mo Ghiollan a Dh' Iomain Nan Caorach

Do ghluais an bathlach beag tóstalach,

Is poitín á fhreastal ar bhord aige,

A d'iarraidh leanna chun cóisire,

Chun iad a chuir ar na staraibh.

Ar a theacht abhaile trí Bhóthar Tuir,

is poitín á fhreastal ar chord aige

Thit an canna ar a thóin ar lic

is siúd a chuid leanna le fána.

Chuirinn mo ghiollan a dh'iomain nan caorach

Chuirinn mo ghiollan a dh'iomain nan caorach

Chuirinn mo ghiollan a dh'iomain nan caorach

Chuirinn mo ghaol a dh'iomain nam bò

Buachaille ghobhar thu, buachaille chaorach

Buachaille ghobhar thu, buachaille chaorach

Buachaille ghobhar thu, buachaille chaorach

Buachaille laogh thu, buachaille bhò

Do bhuail an bhosa go deorach dubh

Is dúirt: "Táim creachta go deo leis sin"

Nuair a bhí a channa gan tóin aige

'S gan braon sa bhaile ach bláthach

Do bhuail a bhosa go cráite ansin

Is dúirt: "Táim creachta go brách le sin"

Ar chuairt in aisce atáim anois

Gan chlú, gan ainm, gan árthach

Chuirinn mo bhalachan shiubhail a' garbhlaich

Chuirinn mo bhalachan dh' fhalbh na firichean

Chuirinn mo bhalachan shiubhail a' garbhlaich

Chuirinn mo ghaol a dh'iomain nam bò

Buachaille ghobhar thu, buachaille chaorach

Buachaille ghobhar thu, buachaille chaorach

Buachaille ghobhar thu, buachaille chaorach

Buachaille laogh thu, buachaille bhò

Chuirinn mo ghiollan a dh'iomain nan caorach

Chuirinn mo ghiollan a dh'iomain nan caorach

Chuirinn mo ghiollan a dh'iomain nan caorach

Bhí fuaim an asail mar cheol acu

is dríodar práisce á ól mar phuins

rírá ag bacaigh le mórtais ann

is nach orthu: "Bhí an eirí in airde?"

Bhí Síle Shalach mar chócaire

Is feoil ghabhair ghleabaigh á róst' ar bior

Go bhfaighe sí boladh dreoite uirthi

ó bheith ina craiceann le ráite.
