Bhí sé thí os i lár a' mhargaidh Dól sé 's cheol sé ar rith an lae Nuair a tháinig an oí che gan pingin ina bhrí ste Is mairg nár ghlac mé comhairle na mná
Casadh orm é le heiri na gréine An ógánach gleoite go folláin 's go beo Nuair a thóg sé a hata agus labhair sé le gáire Thit mé i ngra leis, chreid mé go deo
Bhí cnaipí airgid ar mo chóta Is ribní sí oda a bhfearr sa tí r Slabhraí óir is clocha luachmhar Mheall mé le saibhreas é go fí or
Ní rabhas ag a nduine cé'n pháirt dén tí r é Labhair sé go uasal soinneanta só Bhí 'n tiombá thart go raibh tiarna ina theaghlach Ní raibh sé i bhfad bhí mé geallta do
Tá'n ceangal fada 's deacar a scaoileadh Bhfearr i bhfad a bheith cinnte do Ní or ghlac sé i bhfad gur bhris sé mo chroí sa A leoga ní seo mo scéilí n ó
A 'gur shiúl sé sí os i lár a mhargaidh 'S cheannaigh sé carda ar phunt nó dhó Bhí an tádh ina rith leis, bhain sé an "lotto" Anois bhéidh an chuideachta againn go deo
Translation My darling love, will you come back home? My darling love, will you come with me? My darling love, will you come back home? My darling love
He was down at the market He drank and sang all day long When night came and he hadn't a penny in his pocket Oh what a shame I didn't take the missus' advice
I met him at sunrise A charming, healthy and lively young lad When he lifted his hat and spoke with a smile I fell in love with him, thought it would never end
My coat had buttons of silver And the best silk ribbons in the country Golden chains and precious stones I truly enticed him with my glitter and gold
No one knew from which part of the land he came He spoke nobly and with pleasant ease Rumor had it that there was a lord in his family It wasn't long 'til I was engaged to him
The bond is long and difficult to untie It's much better to be sure of it* It didn't take long 'til he broke my heart Indeed this is not the story I'd prefer to be telling
But then he went back down to the market And bought a ticket for a pound or two Luck was on his side, he won the lottery Now we'll forever be living the good life
