Ar meisce cha dtéim níos mó Braon leanna go deo ní bhlaisfidh mé Ó chaill mé mo chailín beag óg A chuireadh i mo phócaí an t-airgead
Curfá: Is fada liom uaim í, uaim í Is fada liom uaim í ó d’imigh sí Is fada liom thíos agus thuas í Molly na gcuach Ní Chuilleanáin
Dhéanfaidh mé tigh ar an ard Is beidh ceithre ba bainne breaca agam Is ní ligfidh mé ‘n duine dá gcomhair Ach Molly deas bhán Ní Chuilleanáin
Curfá
Dá mbeinnse i ndeacair an bháis Is na daoine a rá nach dtiocfainn as Ní dhéanfainn mo thiomna go brách Go dtiocfadh Moll bhán Ní Chuilleanáin
Curfá
Bhí mise lá ar an choill Is tharla dom soilse bhrádóige Dhéanfadh sí marbhán beo Nó buachaill deas óg den tseanduine
Curfá (lines 3-4x2)
Drunk I will go no longer A drop of ale forever I will not taste Since I lost my little young girl, Hooded Molly Ni Chuilleanáin (Molly Thornton)
(Chorus) She’s far from me, far, far She’s far from me since she went She’s far from me above and below Hooded Molly Ní Chuilleanáin
I’ll make a house on the height And I’ll have four speckled white cows And I won’t let anyone take care of them But nice white Molly Ní Chuilleanáin
(Chorus)
If I was in danger of death And the people saying I wouldn’t come out of it They would never make my grave Until the coming of fair Molly Ní Chuilleanáin
(Chorus)
I was one day in a wood In the light of the flighty woman She would bring a zombie to life Or make a young lad of an old person
