Zadala mamka, zadala dcéru

Zadala mamka, zadala dcéru
Daleko od sebe,
Zakazala jej, prikázala jej:
Nechod' deéro ku mne!

Ja sa, udelám ptáčkom jarabým,
Poletím k mamičke.
A sadnem sitam na zahradečku,
Na bielu laliju.

Vyjde mamička: čotoza ptáčka,
čo tak smutne spieva?
Ej, hešu, ptačku jaraby,
Nelámaj laliju!

-Ta daly ste mňa za chlapa zlého
Do kaja cudzieho;
Veru mne je zle, mamička milá,
So zlým mužom byti.
