Ficliwid guinea 's Ix-ag t'liiacii
Gun d' tlieid sid a cliur sios an goall,
Cha teid peighinn dlia fein
Bonn cha ghleidheir dha 'n deigh a cliall.
'S tlieid coig coigi an de'n or,
Gun d' theid sud air son cord da'n aid,
Urad eile oirre fein,
Faire faire 's math feuni gu spaid,
'S grabliataichcan saor,
Gur punnd Sasunuach e gun stad,
Air a chnnntadh air clar,
Dhe'n an iunntas gun dail air fad.
Cha bhi pheidse ann a lueas,
Mur bi aodach am fasan chaich,
Ged cho.sd e guinea an t-shxt,
Gheibhear sud air son mart 'sa mhal,
Urrad eile ri chois
Gun d' theid sud ar.n an a casaig dha,
'S bi'iogais bheilibheid bhuig mhin,
Gu bhi ruighinn a sios gu shall.
Theid luach mairt no nis mo,
Air paidliir stocaiun de'n t-'seorsa 's fearr,
'S cha chunntar an corr,
Ducaid diuc air da bhi'oig bhuinu ard
Clachan criosdail s math snuadh,
Ann am bucaill mu'n cuaii't gun snial
Sud na gartainean suas,
Paidhir thasdan a 's luach nam barr.
Cha bhi pheidse ann am pris,
'Se gun aithe dhi air ach cleoc,
Grios a chlaimhidh cha b' fhiach,
'S bu chuis athais ceann iaruinn dha,
Criosaibh dealbhach o'n bhuth,
Ceann airgid as bucaill oir,
'S feudar sud fhaotainn dha,
'S thig air m' fhearannsa mal nis mo.
'S theid e stigh anns a bhuth,
Leis an fhasan a's uire bho'n Fhraing,
'San t-aodach gasda bha'n de.
Ma do phearsa le speis nach gaun
