1. An bhfaca tú mo Shéamuisín? Mo stóirín óg, mo bhuachaillín. An bhfaca tú mo Shéamuisín? Is é ‘gabháil síos an bóthar. Níl bróg ar bith ar a dhá choisín. Ar a dhá choisín, ar a dhá choisín. Níl bróg ar bith ar a dhá choisín. Níl caipín air ná clóca. 2. Ag dul ar scoil tá Séamuisín Mo stóirín óg, mo bhuachaillín Ag dul ar scoil tá Séamuisín ‘S a leabharín buí sa phóca. Ar a dhroim tá máilín beag Tá máilín beag, tá máilín beag Ar a dhroim tá máilín beag 'S a lóinsín ann is dócha. 3. Do rugadh é i Móin a Lín Ag bun an chnoic i nead éinín Do rugadh é i Móin a Lín In aice le Bun Dóite. Ó grá mo chroí mo Shéamuisín Mo stóirín óg, mo bhuachaillín. Ó grá mo chroí mo Shéamuisín Ar maidin is tráthnóna.

Have you seen my little Jimmy? My little love, my little boy. Have you seen my little Jimmy? As he was going down the road. No shoes at all on his little feet. On his little feet, on his little feet. No shoes at all on his little feet. Nor a little hat or coat. Going to school is little Jimmy My little love, my little boy, Going to school is little Jimmy A little yellow book in his pocket. On his back is a little bag A little bag, a little bag On his back is a little bag And his little lunch inside it. He was born in Móin a Lín At the bottom of the hill in a little bird nest He was born in Móin a Lín Near to Bun Dóite. The love of my heart is my little Jimmy My little love, my little boy. The love of my heart is my little Jimmy From morning till night.
