Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir Is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile
Curfá: Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
Chuir mé féin mo lámh i mo phóca Is d'iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi Is é dúirt sí liom "Suigh síos ag bord Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin"
(Curfá)
"Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin"
I went into a public house last night And I asked the barwoman for credit She said to me, "You won't get a drop Hit the road and go home"
Chorus: It is not yet the day, nor the day It's not yet day and it won't be 'til morning It is not yet the day, nor the day A high light is in the moon
I put my hand in my pocket And I asked for the change of a shilling She said to me, "Sit down at the table And drink here until the morning"
(Chorus)
Rise up, man of the house Put on your trousers and your hat 'Til you keep music with the good person Who'll be drinking here until morning"
