Ar meisce cha dtéim níos mó Braon leanna go deo ní bhlaisfidh mé Ó chaill mé mo chailín beag óg A chuireadh i mo phócaí an t-airgead
Curfá: Is fada liom uaim í, uaim í Is fada liom uaim í ó d'imigh sí Is fada liom thíos agus thuas í Molly na gcuach Ní Chuilleanáin
Dhéanfaidh mé tigh ar an ard Is beidh ceithre ba bainne breaca agam Ní ligfidh mé 'n duine dá gcomhair Go dtiocfadh Moll óg Ní Chuilleanáin
(Curfá)
Dá mbeinnse i ndeacair an bháis Is na daoine a rá nach dtiocfainn as Ní dhéanfainn mo thiomna go brách Go dtiocfadh Moll bhán Ní Chuilleanáin
Bhí mise lá ar an choill Is tharla dom soilse bhrádóige Dhéanfadh sí marbhán beo Nó buachaill deas óg den tseanduine
Is fada liom thíos agus thuas í Molly na gcuach Ní Chuilleanáin
Drunkeness for life I forego Strong ale I will taste never more Since I lost my pretty young maid Who would plenish my pockets with riches
Chorus: I long for her from me, from me I long for her from me since leaving me I long for her above and below me The curly-haired Molly Nee Chull-in-an
I'll build a house on the hill And four speckled cows I'll own I'll allow no other person near them 'Til the arrival of young Molly Nee Chull-in-an
(Chorus)
If I were in the last throes of death And people could see no recovery I'd never dictate my last will 'Til the arrival of fair Molly Nee Chull-in-an
I happened one day in the woods And I met a charming young maiden She'd make a corpse come alive And a lovely young man of an old fellow
I long for her above and below me The curly-haired Molly Nee Chull-in-an
