S do mhaimeo (The Wealthy Widow)
Gaelic version, followed by English version:
Chorus:
S do mhaimeo , s do mhaimeo
S do mhaimeo , cailleach an airgid
S do mhaimeo , ó Bhaile Inis Mhóir
S chuirfeadh s cóist ar bhóithre Cois Fharraige
D bhfeicfe an "steam" ghabhail siar Tóin U Loin
S na rotha ghabhail timpeall siar ó na ceathrna
Chaithfeadh s n stiir naoi n-vair ar a cl
S n choinneodh s sil le cailleach an airgid
(Chorus)
Measann t, bpósfa, measann t bpósfa
Measann t, bpósfa, cailleach an airgid?
Ts am nach bpósfa, ts am nach bpósfa
Mar t s ró-óg gus dólfadh sn t-airgead
(Chorus twice)
S gairid go bpósfaidh, s gairid go bpósfaidh
S gairid go bpósfaidh, beirt ar an mbaile seo
S gairid go bpósfaidh, s gairid go bpósfaidh
San Shamais Mhóir agus Mire N Chathasaigh
(Chorus three times)
She is your granny, she is your granny
And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige
She is your granny, from the town of Nishmore
Shes your granny, the hag with the money
If youd see the steam going past Toin Ui Loin
But shed never keep pace with the hag with the money
Shed scatter the stoor nine times to the rear
And the wheels turning speedily out from her flanks
Do you reckon hed marry, do you reckon hed marry
Cause he is too young and hell squander the money
I know hell not marry, I know hell not marry
Do you reckon hed marry the hag with the money?
Well soon have a wedding, well soon have a wedding
Between Sean Seamais Mhoir and Maire Ni Chathasaigh
Well soon have a wedding, well soon have a wedding
Well soon have a wedding, by two in the village
