Breathnach prints the chorus of the song[1] which goes:
Sí mo Mhamó í, sí mo Mhamó í,
Sí mo Mhamó í, cailleach an airgid.
Sí mo Mhamó í, as baile Iorrais Mhóir í
Is chuirfeadh sí cóistí ar bhóithre Chois Fhairrge.
Translated by Paul de Grae as:
She's my granny, she's my granny,
She's my granny, the hag with the money.
She's my granny, from the town of Errismore
And she'd put coaches on the roads of Cois Fhairrge.
"Old Hag's Money," a jig that was entered into the c. 1863-73 music manuscript copybook of Crossmolina, County Mayo, farmer and fiddler Philip Carolan (c. 1839-1910) is a distanced version of "Hag with the Money."
