'Sí do mhaimeo í
'Sí do mhaimeo í
'Sí do mhaimeo í
Cailleach an airgid
'Sí do mhaimeo í
Ó Bhail' Iorrais Mhóir í
'S chuir-feadh sí cóistí
'R bhóithre Chois Fharraige

'bhFeicfeása 'n "steam"
'Ga'l siar Tóin Uí Loing'
'S na rothaí gh'l timpeall
Siar óna ceathrúnaí
Caithfeadh sí'n stiúir
Naoi n-uair'ar a cúl
'S ní choinneodh sí siúl
Le cailleach an airgid

'Measann tú 'bpósfa,
'Measann tú 'bpósfa
'Measann tú 'bpósfa
Beirt ar an mbaile seo?
Tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa
Tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa
Mar tá sé ró-óg
'Gus dólfadh sé'n t-airgead

(Curfá)

'S gairid go 'bpósfa,
'S gairid go 'bpósfa
'S gairid go 'bpósfa
Beirt ar an mbaile seo
'S gairid go 'bpósfa

Chorus:
She's your granny
She's your granny
She's your granny
The hag with the money
She's your granny
From the town of Iorrais Mór
And she would put coaches
On the roads of Cois Farraige

If you'd see the steam boat
Going past Tóin Uí Loing'
And the wheels turning
Speedily at her flanks
She'd scatter the store
Nine times to the rear
But she never keeps pace
With the hag with the money

(Chorus)

Do you reckon he'd marry
Do you reckon he'd marry
Do you reckon he'd marry
By two in the village?
I know he'll not marry
I know he'll not marry
Because he's too young
And he'll drink the money

(Chorus)

We'll soon have a wedding
We'll soon have a wedding
We'll soon have a wedding
By two in the village
We'll soon have a wedding
We'll soon have a wedding
Between Séan Séamais Mór
And Máire Ní Chathasaigh
(2x)

(Chorus 2x)
