Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh The old man refused me straw
'S gun dhiult am bodach feur dhomh The old man refused me hay
Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh The old man refused me straw
Chuirinn fo mo shliosaid To put under my thigh
Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh The old man refused me straw
'S gun dhiult am bodach feur dhomh The old man refused me hay
Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh The old man refused me straw
Chuirinn fo mo shliosaid To put under my thigh

Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh The old man refused me straw
'S gun dhiult am bodach feur dhomh The old man refused me hay
Dhiult am bodach fodar dhomh The old man refused me straw

Gun d' dhiult am bodach luideach odhar The ragged, sallow old man
A's an t-sabhail feur dhomh Refused me hay in the barn
