TÁIMSE AR AN mBAILE SEO. Irish, Air (12/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. The melody is better known as the song “The Wild Colonial Boy.” The first two stanzas go:

Is táimse ar an mbaile seo le bliain agus trí lá,
Is dá mbeadh a fhios ag mo mhuintir air, ní chodlóidís go sámh,
Dochtúirí na Fraince ní leigheasfaidís mo ghearán,
Go dtiocfaidh péarla an chúil chraobhaigh is go mbéarfaidh sí ar mo láimh.

Dé Domhnaigh, Dé Domhnaigh is ea deineadh mise a chreach
Do ceanglaíodh mo stóirín, gan orlach dem chead,
Dá mbeinnse suite i gcúinne an tí agus grá mo chroí le m’ais,
Is nach gleoite deas mar a sheolfaimis na dúthaigh i bhfad amach.
