Goirm i gconai gconai
Goirm i gconai dom
Goirm i gconai gconai gconai
Maidin De Luain a b'fhearr

Buachaill aniar aniar
Buachaill aniar a b'fhearr
Buachaill aniar aniar aniar
Is cailin o Shliabh na bPeann

Buachaill maith suiste suiste
Buachaill maith suiste a b'fhearr
Buachaill maith suiste suiste suiste
Is cailin deas tuirne leann

Chorus (after each verse):
Can they come a-dancing with me?
Can they come a-dancing with me?
Can they come a-dancing dancing, dancing
Can they come a-dancing with me?

Laugh always, always
Always laugh for me
Laugh always, always, always
Monday morning is best

A boy from the west, the west
A boy from the west is best
A boy from the west, the west, the west
And a girl from Peann Mountain

A good boy a-threshing, a-threshing
The best of a threshing-boy
A good boy a-threshing, a-threshing, a-threshing
And a nice girl for spinning clothes
