VELISURMAAJA Mistäs tulet, kustas tulet, poikani iloinen? Mie tulen meren rannast', miun äitini kultainen. Mitä sieltä tekemästä, poikani iloinen? Hevostani juottamasta, miun äitini kultainen. Mist’ on saappaas' saveen tullut, poikani iloinen? Mie kuljin vaan tietä pitkin, miun äitini kultainen. Mist’ on miekkais verreen tullut, poikani iloinen? Mie tapoin vanhemman veljen, miun äitini kultainen. Mintähen sinä veljesi tapoit, poikani iloinen? Miks' hän miun naista nauratteli, miun äitini kultainen. Mihin sie nyt itse joudut, poikani iloinen? Muille maille vierahille, miun äitini kultainen Milloin sie sieltä kottiin palaat, poikani iloinen? Silloin kun tähdet taivaalla tanssii, miun äitini kultainen. Milloin ne tähdet taivaalla tanssii, poikani iloinen? Silloin kun kivi veen pääll' lillii, miun äitini kultainen. Milloin se kivi veen pääll' lillii, poikani iloinen? Sillon kun höyhen uppoo vatiin, miun äitini kultainen. Millon se höyhen uppoo vatiin, poikani iloinen? Silloin kun kaikki tuomiolle tullaan.
