Kom, geef ons nu het pinksterei, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, En breng een koele dronk daarbij, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! Wij komen van de Bensberg Hé, roosje bloempje klein, De heid'nen stormden naar de berg, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! Zij wilden 't fort veroov'ren, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Het waren echte rovers, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! Naar 't fort zag men ze ijlen, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Het regende daar pijlen, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! En toen elke pijl verschoten was, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Begon de stenenregen pas, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! Bergaf trok toen 't Boheems kabaal, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Bergaf naar 't mooie Wuppertal, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! Maar jonker Hans liep daar al lang, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Hij had verstand van vogelvang, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn! Zo werd de Wupperstad beroemd, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Werd Lijkelingen toen genoemd, Hé, roosje bloempje klein, Lach maar, wakker meidje fijn!
