| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Níl aon oíche 'dhéanaim cleas | There isn't a night that I play tricks |
| Nach bhfaighim im is ubh na gcearc | That I don't get butter and an egg from the hen |
| Siúcra bulóige síos lem'ais | A sugar loaf put down beside me |
| An chearc ar fad sa tsáspan | And all the hen in the saucepan |
| Curfá : | Chorus : |
| Óró mo ghiolla beag | Oro my little boy |
| Grá mo chroí mo ghiolla 's tú | My own love, my own boy |
| Óró mo ghiolla beag | Oro my little boy |
| 'S tú peata beag do mháthar | You are your mother's little pet |
| Téigh is tabhair na gabhair abhaile | Go and bring the goats home |
| Téigh is tabhair na gabhair abhaile | Go and bring the goats home |
| Téigh is tabhair na gabhair abhaile | Go and bring the goats home |
| Is meannán beag don pháiste | And a small goat for the baby |
| (Curfá 2x) | (Chorus 2x) |
| Ceannóidh mise bagún duit | I'll buy bacon for you |
| Ceannóidh mise bagún duit | I'll buy bacon for you |
| Ceannóidh mise bagún duit | I'll buy bacon for you |
| Is cupla tor cabaiste | And a couple of heads of cabbage |
| (Curfá) | (Chorus) |
| Ceannóidh mise bróga duit | I'll buy a pair of shoes for you |
| Ceannóidh mise bróga duit | I'll buy a pair of shoes for you |
| Ceannóidh mise bróga duit | I'll buy a pair of shoes for you |
| 'S stocaí beaga bána | And little, white socks |
| (Curfá 2x) | (Chorus 2x) |
