"Muise, na bac leat" sounds right!!! Right number of syllables, and I can see how a few consonants could be slurred or dropped. Is the final word pronounced "let"?

When I was a small child in the 1960s, my older relatives used to ALWAYS follow any mention of County Mayo with "God help us!" It was many years, of course, before I knew what that meant.

Go raibh maith agat!
