Lempeni.
Kulkuripoika.
Samettisilmä.
Voi sua, veitikka, voi sua, tyttö, kohta sä, kohta sä hurmasit
mun katseilla kummilla, silmillä tummilla: orjasi, orjasi nyt olen
sun.
Sinä tyttönen, oi, sinä enkeli, sinä oot minun öitteni tähti,
sinä purppurin päärmäsit päiväni, ja sinusta mun voimani
lähti.
Metsolassa.
Sain ruusun sulta mä, neito kulta, sait laulun palkaksi siitä
sie. Nyt kuollut kukka on, tummatukka, ja kuollut lempemme
myöskin lie.
