Curfá: Chorus:
'Sí do mhaimeo í, 'sí do mhaimeo í She's your granny, she's your granny
'Sí do mhaimeo í cailleach an airgid She's your granny, the hag with the money
'Sí do mhaimeo í ó Bhail' Iorrais Mhóir í She's your granny from the town of Iorrais Mór
'S chuir-feadh sí cóistí 'r bhóithre Chois Fharraige And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige

'bhFeicfeása 'n "steam" 'ga'l siar Tóin Uí Loing' If you'd see the steam boat going past Tóin Uí Loing'
'S na rothaí gh'l timpeall siar óna ceathrúnaí And the wheels turning speedily at her flanks
Caithfeadh sí'n stiúir naoi n-uair'ar a cúl She'd scatter the store nine times to the rear
'S ní choinneodh sí siúl le cailleach an airgid But she never keeps pace with the hag with the money

(Curfá) (Chorus)

'Measann tú 'bpósfa, 'measann tú 'bpósfa Do you reckon he'd marry, do you reckon he'd marry
'Measann tú 'bpósfa beirt ar an mbaile seo? Do you reckon he'd marry by two in the village?
Tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa, tá 's a'm nach 'bpósfa I know he'll not marry, I know he'll not marry
Mar tá sé ró-óg 'gus dólfadh sé'n t-airgead Because he's too young and he'll drink the money

(Curfá) (Chorus)

'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
'S gairid go 'bpósfa beirt ar an mbaile seo We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village
'S gairid go 'bpósfa, 's gairid go 'bpósfa We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding
Séan Shéamais Mhóir agus Máire Ní Chathasaigh Between Séan Séamais Mór and Máire Ní Chathasaigh
(2x) (2x)

(Curfá 2x) (Chorus 2x)
