Éistig go neosfaidh mé scéal, Agus geallaim nach bréag a chanfad libh: Gur i dti'n tabhairne fhágas mo spré Agus, geallaim, trí thaobh na scillinge. Creidig mo scéal faoi dhó, Gur minic a bhí coróinn 'na bhill' orm; Gur i dti'n tabhairne fhágas mo stór, Agus cailiní óga am' chuileachtain. Cúrfa: A dhuine, bí ciúin go fóill - Éist le glór a' tseanchais! Leog dos na mná 'gus don ól, Agus diúlthaigh go deo dos na beartaibh seo! 2. De Domhnaigh, nuair a théim go ti'n óil, Bíonn an landlady romham go hinnealtha: 'Fachtar dó cathaoir nó stól, Agus bainíg de a bhróga agus triomaíg iad!' Mar do bhíodh mo dhúil insa liúnn, Do deintí breis dúthracht go minic dom - 'Come landlady open the door, Chun go dtéimíd sa rúimín is cluthaire!' Cúrfa: 3. Ní raibh ann ach triúr ar dtúis Is ba ghearr go raibh cúigear 'ár gcuileachtain: 'Come, bring us some toddy, my jewel, For here is Tom Toozick the Gentleman!' Nuair airíos-sa m'ainm á ghlaoch, 's an title go léir á thabhairt orm, D'fhanas ansúd ar mo phréic, Chun gur ólas-sa saothar mo sheachtaine. Cúrfa: 4. Thuiteas lag marbh gan céill, 's ní raibh scilling ná raol i dtaisce agam, Ach graithin is glamar a' tsléibh, Is an landlady féin is í a'magadh fúm, Leogfad-sa feasta dhon ól, Agus cnósfaidh mé ór agus airgead; Beidh agam macha breá bó - Is mo mhallacht go deo dos na dramannaibh! Cúrfa: 5. Do bhíos-sa sealad dem' shaol, 's nuair a thuilinn mo shaol, do chaithinn í - 'Mister Tom Cusack' á ghlaoch Ag an landlady fhéin i dtigh a' tabhairne. 'Nois nuair ná fuil agam scilling ná raol, Ná aon stór i n-aon chor i dtaisce agam, Fachtar dom Tomás Céasóg, Chun go mbainfead a bhróga 's a hata dhe! Cúrfa: |
