Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh
Dhen darach làidir dhùbailte
Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh.

Thog e am bogsa th' air mo bheulaibh
Feuch an lìonainn e le breugan
Cha robh sin cho doirbh a dhèanamh
Bha Catrìona dlùth orm.
Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh.

Dh'èirich Beasag 's i cho dòigheil
'S chuir i biadh is deoch an òrdan
'S nuair a dh'òl mi fhìn mo leòr dheth
Cha robh an còrr a lùths annam.
Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh.

Nuair a chluinneas iad 'n Dùn Èideann
Mar a bhios Wally falbh air chèilidh
'G òl an fhìon air a co-chreutair
Bidh iad fhèin an diombadh rium.
Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh.

Cha ruig mi leas an còrr a ràdha
On tha fhios agam mar-thà air
Gum bi mac-na-braiche làmh rium
A h-uile ceàrn a shiùbhlas mi.
Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh
Dhen ghiuthas làidir dhùbailte
Chuir Iain casan ùr air dhomh.
